Is it possible to download browser in iphone simulator

I run my selenium tests across different web browsers like google chrome, firefox ie ect. These tests are being conducted in windows and Mac machine. We have requirement to run those tests in mobile browsers. I was able to run in mobile simulator safari browser successfully.

Now, I am wondering if it is possible to run those selenium tests in other browsers like opera mini but I was not able download opera mini browser in my simulator.

Can any one suggest me if it is possible to download browsers in simulators. I am using XCODE to build simulator.
