Not technically Safari but https://webkitgtk.org is a thing and WebKit itself is open source: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit

“”” WebKit is a cross-platform web browser engine. On iOS and macOS, it powers Safari, Mail, iBooks, and many other applications. “””

Midori is also based on WebKit: http://midori-browser.org

AFAIK Safari does not provide more privacy protections than WebKit.

Some of Safari’s privacy protection (Intelligent Tracking Prevention: https://webkit.org/blog/7675/intelligent-tracking-prevention...) uses APIs in iOS and macOS that aren’t part of WebKit.
