If you’re a Mac user who installed a Safari beta version on a stable version of MacOS to experiment with beta Safari features, it’s possible that you might want to downgrade the Safari beta back to a Safari stable version. This can be tricky because if you install a beta version of Safari onto MacOS, it will default to overwriting the stable version of Safari on that Mac. So what should you do in this situation, how can you downgrade from a Safari beta back to a Safari stable build on MacOS? That’s what we’re going to address in this article.
For example, lets say you installed Safari 26 beta onto MacOS Sequoia 15.6, but you find that Safari 26 beta is too buggy to use reliably, or you just don’t like it for whatever reason. But by installing the Safari 26 beta onto Sequoia, you overwrote the stable Safari build and now you’re stuck with the beta, right? Wrong! There are a few different ways to return the Safari stable version to your Mac, as we’ll show you here.
Note that while you can downgrade from a Safari beta version to a Safari stable version using these methods, you can not downgrade from a new version of Safari to an older one.
