You cannot singularly update Safari - as it is a “component” of iOS. As such, it is updated together with iOS.
As you have an old (now unsupported) iPad running iOS 9.3.5/6, you’ll not be able to update to a newer version of iOS or iPadOS - as your iPad lacks the necessary CPU or RAM to support the newer versions of the Operating System. Unfortunately, as Safari is an integral component of iOS, this cannot be upgraded either.
Sorry, not wanted you hear.
You also need to be aware that Apps supporting older versions of iOS are becoming increasing scarce - and may following potential withdrawal from the Apple Store (by Apple or the third-party Developer) cannot be downloaded. If you have continued reliance upon your ageing iPad, you should perhaps consider replacement with a newer model.
Whilst I’m certain that you will be disappointed that your iPad is reaching the end of its “useful” working life, you might take some solace in knowing that even the most basic replacement model will run rings around the performance and capabilities of your existing device.
Comparing Safari 9 to Firefox and Chrome, Apple boasts that their browser is faster than both the competitors—both in JavaScript performance and in web application responsiveness. Apple even claims that Safari is 6X faster than both Firefox and Chrome in “JavaScript performance on popular websites.” Of course, your mileage may vary, but.
