Hello, I have a MAC OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 - I've had difficultly accessing several websites I normally use. When I try to update the software - I get a message there are no updates available. How do I update my Safari browers?
The Age of this computer will Govern what newer version of macOS it will Qualify to install. Use About this Mac from the Apple Icon on Desktop - the required Information will be there.
With the above information in-hand - follow this How to get old versions of macOS and verify what version this computer Qualifies to install. For Best results use Safari to commence the download as Others may not work.
One may consider upGrading to High Sierra first. This may better position the computer for the Drive Conversion to the newer APFS format as well as any EFI BOOT ROM required to use the newer file format.
Make Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS
Notation - Mojave is the Last version to support 32 bit applications / extensions and Drivers. Catalina, Big Sur & Monterey supports only 64 bit and there is no workaround.
Suggest using Go64 to find 32 bit application before attempting the upGrade. Some or many of the Application already installed may required update or upGrades to 64 Bit Versions.
Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Un-installers, etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and if your Mac model's recent enough, click on High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, or Monterey. Alternatively, switch to a product such as Firefox.
If you're referring to sites affected by the Let's Encrypt certificate expiry, you can also download a new one.

The way Safari is updated is by upgrading your computer's software. An upgrade is when you install a newer version, such as upgrading from Catalina to Big Sur. An update is to install a newer version of the same operating system. The reason for this is because Safari is installed as part of the operating system. It cannot normally be individually installed. Incidentally, a newer version of Safari does not always work with every web site. Sometimes it is necessary to install another browser such as Firefox or Chrome to use with certain web sites. They are individually installed and upgraded.
