IMHO, Apple has a very good opportunity to open-source Safari. If Safari were to become cross platform, out would surely help in fighting Google Chrome's dominance.

Although I do agree that means there's less competition in the browser engine world.

Safari uses webkit as the engine, which is FOSS. I mean, yes, I'd also like them to open source the whole thing and make it portable, but the engine is the hard part.

You should be able to compile the GTK front end of WebKit nearly everywhere.

The Mac front end uses macOS APIs and Apply is super selective which ones they port to Windows and WebKit would force them to open source this.
