As far as I know, officially there are no portable browsers (the original developers do not have such versions) for the major products (like IE or Firefox).
Actually none of them are official. If there is no reference for such kind of product on the developer web site, then it's not official (therefore, a version modified by a third-party person).
Unfortunately, those are not the official developer sites. I never used such products mainly because those are unofficially modified and can be a security/privacy risk.
You'll actually find that a lot of apps can be run from a USB device. Anything else can be ported by creating an app with the exe and registry changes to be committed on runtime instead of installation. (and removed on exit)

There is no absolutely no privacy/security risk while using the unofficial Opera Portable version. I've reverse engineered the startup exe file and I've found out that the only difference with the portable version is that it loads another program that sets the correct thumb-drive path in the opera6.ini file and then starts opera.exe so that opera can start as if it were installed on the thumb drive itself.
Generally, using unofficially modified software is always a security/privacy risk. Yes, indeed, some of them do not steal private information or destroy the data on the computer. However, there is always a chance for this software to do so, as it comes from unofficial sources.
I'd have to go with firefox on USB. The only problem is that it doesn't work with Mac, and the only other Windows computers I use do not allow internet access unless it is through IE6!
My college is lame... ((its a good job I know how to beat the system ))
