Ahead of the official launch of OS X El Capitan, Apple's newest operating system, Apple today released Safari 9.0 for OS X Yosemite users. According to Apple, today's update is recommended for all people running OS X Yosemite and includes improvements to privacy, compatibility, and security.

The update adds El Capitan-centric features including a new mute audio feature for Safari tabs and additional viewing options for Safari Reader. Pinned Sites, a major Safari addition in OS X El Capitan, is not included.
This update:

- Adds controls to mute audio in Safari tabs
- Adds additional viewing options for Safari Reader
- Improves website AutoFill compatibility

It's likely just the lack of Metal support, and other little things like that. Surprised the mute function carried over.

The only thing I need is pinning sites, and it's not available wit this version of Safari on Yosemite :(

PS: and chill out on the El Cap comments... It'll come at some point.

Does it fix KEYCHAIN ? I notice a huge improvement on my iPhone. Keychain passwords actually works now. But not so much on my MacBook

rats. I was hoping most for the Pinning of Tabs. I must have missed that part in the article about it or just thought it was included.

ALSO, where can I get this Download? I don't see an update for it

Will Safari 9.0 run on OS X 10.9.5? I downloaded Mavericks (edit, meant to say Yosemite, not Mavericks) last night to get the final version but did not yet install it as I want to verify crucial workflow software compatibility before upgrading (same with El Capitan). However, now App Store update offers me Safari 9.0 though the system is still running 10.9.5. I wonder if it would run or would trying to install it yield a "can't install until you upgrade to..." message? Anyone tried 9.0 on 10.9.5?

Edit: I've since given it a go on 10.9.5. It does work fine but it's newer features are not available unless OS X is upgraded. Apparently 10.9.5 gets security features upgrades and that's all.

I installed it few minutes ago, with no Problems. But there are 0 new features. It's only security, stability, ...

Version 9.0 (9537.86.1.56.2)
