If they really want that to be the case, they need to make Safari available on other OS's again

If they did that, Safari market share would increase 0.01% percent or something.

When it was available for Windows, nobody used it, except web developers who wanted their website to work on Macs, but didn't have a Mac to test with.

I used it because I liked the Mac font rendering but I had to use Windows for work.

These days with hidpi screens the difference between font rendering between windows and Mac is negligible though. So that's not a factor anymore.

I think synchronized bookmarks/history, which didn't exist back then, would be reason enough for many people to switch. So maybe more like 1%. ;)

Also, most people don't know what a browser is. They just look at Internet, or google.
