HTTP requests and cookies however are still handled by the system and may not work exactly the same. They will mimic original Safari rendering and javascript behaviours. These special versions of Safari use the original Web Kit framework that came with them, bundled inside the application.

Thus, you would normally need a separate installation of Mac OS X for each version of Safari you want to test a website into. This means that if you preserve an old version of Safari to run it on a newer version of Mac OS, it will use the newer Web Kit found in the system and you will get the same results as with the newer version. Safari normally uses the Web Kit framework found inside Mac OS X to render web pages and execute javascript.
You should think about using another browser (Chrome, Firefox) instead if the newer Safari version is problematic for you. If you are using an older version of Safari to browse the web, you’re exposed to known Safari exploits that have been fixed in later versions and that hackers around the web know about. It is not safe to browse the web with old Safari versions. I’m not going to provide such images however. A workaround would be to keep old version of the OS, which includes Safari, inside a virtual machine image (such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion). Newer Safari releases make it difficult to create self-contained version, and when they’re possible they usually won’t work on different OS versions, making them rather pointless. I’m no longer making up-to-date version of Multi-Safari.
