Safari is available for Mac OS X and Windows, not including a special version for the iPhone OS. Opera is available for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, BeOS, Solaris, OS/2 Warp, and QNX. It also has special versions available for most cellphones and PDAs, the Wii, and the Nintendo DS/DSi.

Safari is based on the Open Source WebKit / KHTML rendering engine (also used in Konqueror, Chrome, the Android Browser, and many other browsers). Opera uses it's own proprietary rendering engine, Presto. Opera has been available for much longer than Safari, and was the pioneer for many web features now considered standard, such as tabs. Safari is a stand-alone web browser (with RSS capabilities), while Opera is a full-featured internet suite, featuring, apart from the web browser, an email client, chat client, torrent downloader, web compressor, syncing service, etc.
