Opera Support
Opera support will probably appear 1-3 browser cycles after Chromium, which often means a few months later.
Safari Support
The implementation is actively in development and can be tested today in Safari Technology Preview by enabling the --use-temporal runtime flag.
Polyfill
Until Opera and Safari supports Temporal natively, you can use the official polyfill.
Example
<script
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@js-temporal/polyfill/dist/index.umd.js">
</script>
<script>
// Now you can use Temporal
const today = Temporal.Now.plainDateISO();
</script>
