Want to see how Apple's browser looked on a PC? Apple offered Safari for Windows from 2007 until 2012; the last release, Safari 5.1.7, came out in May 2012. It renders pages with an old WebKit engine, so many current websites break and it has had no security updates since.
Move between pages and tabs
Use the back and forward controls to revisit pages in the current tab. Tabs keep multiple sites available in one browser window, so it is straightforward to switch between an article, a reference page, and a search result without losing the pages already open.
Its minimal toolbar leaves most of the window to the page, and Reader view, added in Safari 5, strips clutter from articles.
Save sites and revisit pages
Add frequently visited websites to Favorites, then group related links in folders. When a page is no longer open, browsing History provides a way to find and reopen previously visited sites.
Addresses and searches go in the same toolbar.
Use Safari on Windows
Apple quietly dropped the Windows edition with Safari 6. Today it is mainly of interest for testing or nostalgia, not daily browsing.
