Out of date browsers can cause many issues. Make sure your browser is updated to the latest version. To update your browser, simply restart your browser or computer (your browser normally updates automatically when it restarts).
Learn how to download a new browser or upgrade your existing one. Newer browsers provide added benefits, such as increased web surfing security, private browsing, and faster web page uploads. To get the best experience with AOL websites and applications, it's important to use the latest version of a supported browser. Safari update 2019 is Safari 13.x, which is the latest Safari for Mac available to download at the official Apple store. Safari has a history of version 1.x to 13.x to date and will get an update as required. Older versions of OS X don't get the newest fixes from Apple. That's just the way software works. If the old version of OS X you're running doesn't get important updates to Safari anymore, you're going to have to update to a newer version of OS X first. How far you choose to upgrade your Mac is entirely up to you.

Keeping your web browser up to date is very important. Out of date web browsers can have serious security problems. By running an older web browser you'll also probably be missing out on useful and cool new features which newer browser support. Many popular websites, such as Gmail and Facebook no longer support older browsers.
Fortunately, most modern web browsers will automatically update themselves so that you're always running the most current version. You no longer need to actually 'download and install' the latest version yourself; it will do it for you.
We have a list of guides showing how to trigger your browser to check for new versions.
