Answer 1

Cypress doesn't support Safari at the moment, so the answer is no

Answer 2

Since Cypress v10.8, it is possible to run tests in WebKit (the browser engine used in Safari). Currently, the support for WebKit is experimental and can be enabled by following 2 steps:

1. set experimentalWebKitSupport to true in the Cypress config
2. install the playwright-webkit npm package

You can find more details in the official Cypress release: https://www.cypress.io/blog/2022/09/13/cypress-10-8-experimental-run-tests-in-webkit/
