=== Conception === Apple introduced the Safari web browser on January 7, 2003. At the time, Steve Jobs called Safari, βa turbo browser for Mac OS X.β Apple created Safari for speed, calling it the fastest browser for the Mac. Jobs compared it to Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Chimera (later renamed Camino), showing that Safari was faster. The second reason that Apple created Safari was to innovate; Apple wanted to make the best browser ever.[https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/apples-safari-web-browser-is-20-years-old/] During development, several codenames were used including "Freedom", "iBrowse" and "Alexander" (a reference to conqueror [[Alexander the Great]], an homage to the [[Konqueror]] web browser).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Heisler |first=Yoni |date=January 15, 2013 |title=Apple's Safari browser was almost called 'Freedom,' thanks to Steve Jobs |url=https://www.networkworld.com/article/2223843/apple-s-safari-browser-was-almost-called--freedom---thanks-to-steve-jobs.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210501114847/https://www.networkworld.com/article/2223843/apple-s-safari-browser-was-almost-called--freedom---thanks-to-steve-jobs.html |archive-date=May 1, 2021 |access-date=June 1, 2021 |website=[[NetworkWorld]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Kocienda |first=Ken |title=Creative Selection: Inside Apple's Design Process During the Golden Age of Steve Jobs |date=2018 |publisher=[[St. Martin's Press]] |isbn=978-1-250-19446-6 |location=New York, NY}}</ref>
