The only browser I've seen and used for OS X that I liked at all

at least two browsers that work acceptably well under OS 9.x.

I would guess one is iCab. I have no idea what the other would be. An
ancient Mozilla build? Current web browsers are implementing CSS to a
better extent. Authors are using CSS to a better extent. Old browsers
don't do modern CSS, or for that matter HTML 4.01. Modern browsers
implement them far better than old browsers. I can only hope that future
browsers implement the specs perfectly. But I doubt that'll be the case.
Mozilla quit supporting OS9 ages ago. As did IE. As did Opera. AFAICT
iCab is the only modern graphical browser that supports OS9 and
continues builds for it. It's a damned good browser though.
