I would like to debug a browser compatibility issue with Safari. I don't have a Mac and Windows. I am interested if its still possible to install Safari on Ubuntu 14.04. I've tried using Wine 1.6.2 by installing the last version of Safari that works with Windows. While it installs, it does not launch.

If you want to fake having it installed, try : winetricks
If this isn't working, I can't help you much, except to suggest installing with playonlinux and then replacing your wine prefix with the ie's prefix, but that would mean you have to reinstall everything.
You will need to install wine-compholio from a PPA called ppa:pipelight/stable. Basically, it runs Silverlight in a Wine environment. See here: http://www.compholio.com/wine-compholio. Install the package with your browser closed. When you reopen it, you should be able to use Silverlight sites.
For Netflix and a couple of other sites you will also need to adjust the user agent your browser sends out.
