Since that time, web standards promoted by the World Wide Web Consortium have become the gold standard for both browser development and website building. However, there are websites that were built initially to work best—or only—with Internet Explorer.
How to Use the Safari Develop Menu
Safari offers a hidden menu that provides a range of specialized tools and utilities used by web developers. Two of these tools can be helpful for misbehaving websites. However, before you can make use of these tools, you need to enable the Safari Develop menu in the Safari Preferences > Advanced screen. After you see Develop in the Safari menu bar, use the Safari User Agent command.
From the Develop drop-down menu, select User Agent to open a list of available user agents that allow Safari to masquerade as Firefox, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge—or iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch versions of Safari. Make a selection from the list, and the browser reloads the current page using the new user agent. Repeat the process with different user agents as needed. Reset the user agent back to the Default (Automatically Chosen) setting when you’re done visiting the website.
