Opera is a standards-compliant Web browser for Mac OS X, Unix, Windows, QNX, Symbian, OpenBSD and several other operating systems.

Opera Portable provides the same capabilities but it can also be installed on a USB stick (or encrypted disk image) in order to carry the bookmarks and settings, mail, and everything else.

Opera Portable can be installed to /Applications like always, or it can be put on a external USB stick or an encrypted disk image. In the second case the user will be able to have all the preferences wherever he chooses to use the portable device. Portable Opera for Mac Installation:

To install Opera Portable download and mount the disk image. Drag Opera from the disk image to an USB stick or external drive.

Open Terminal.app and drag Opera from the USB stick and drop it ontop of the Terminal window. Press backspace once then type /Contents/MacOS/Opera -createsingleprofile (should read …Opera.app/Contents…) then press Enter.

The user has to run this once and it will create a hidden folder /Volumes/volume-name/.operaprofile/ that will contain all the bookmarks and settings, mail, and the disk cache.

Further details on this procedure can be found on Opera's blog.
