Almost all of the major WebView implementations I can think of are open source:

• WKWebView (iOS, macOS): https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/main/Source/WebKit/UIP...

• Android WebView: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/...

• Mozilla GeckoView: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/tree/master/mobile/andr...

• Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF): https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/src/master/

The main ones that aren't open source are the Windows WebView and WebView2 components.

WKWebView is open source but apple can always decide to change APIs and break apps. Happened before with their tracking prevention.
