I wonder if Apple still delivers new version of safari for PowerPC-based macs. On that computer, I'm stuck with firefox 3.6.28. Is Safari still updated on PPC system updates?

This depends on the OS you're running.

Newer Macs can use...

Can I be confident about the fact that Software-Updates will install the lastest possible version on that computer and stops before the first incompatible one? (Not as Firefox that keeps asking me to update to v11!) – Rabskatran Mar 14 '12 at 15:12

@Rabskatran I'm 99% convinced that Apple's Software update will not install incompatible Software by Apple. Therefore, you should not be prompted. Apple's software update has not prompted you to update to Safari 5 on your current os, has it? – gentmatt Mar 14 '12 at 19:42

Safari for leopard has been discontinued. If you are looking for a browser that is currently receiving updates TenFourFox is a fork of firefox that is updated along side the primary version, but remains compatible with PowerPC cpu's.
