Apple Safari
Apple Safari launched in January 2003, built on the open-source WebKit rendering engine, which Apple had forked from the KHTML engine originally developed for the Linux-based KDE desktop environment. Safari became the default and, for many years, exclusive pre-installed browser on Apple's Mac computers and later on iPhone and iPad following the 2007 launch of iOS, giving it guaranteed default-browser status across the entirety of Apple's hardware ecosystem. The WebKit engine that powers Safari has had an outsized influence on mobile web standards specifically, since Apple's strict App Store policies have historically required all third-party iOS browsers, including Chrome and Firefox on iPhone, to use Apple's WebKit engine under the hood rather than their own rendering engines. Apple Safari's combination of its guaranteed default status across every Apple device and its WebKit engine's outsized influence over mobile web standards has made it one of the most structurally significant browsers in the industry.
VS
Opera
Opera was first released in 1995 by Norwegian company Opera Software, making it one of the oldest web browsers still actively developed and distributed today, having predated both Firefox and Chrome by close to a decade. The browser built a reputation over the years for shipping innovative features well before they became industry standard, including tabbed browsing, a built-in pop-up blocker, and mouse gesture navigation, several of which were later widely adopted by competing browsers. Opera later transitioned to using the Chromium engine in 2013, similar to Microsoft Edge's later shift, and the company has continued to differentiate its browser through built-in features like a free integrated VPN and a dedicated sidebar for messaging apps. Opera's combination of its status as one of the longest continuously developed web browsers and its history of shipping features later copied industry-wide has made it one of the most historically influential browsers still in active use.
