Maybe have a look at a site for general info on Mac browsers:
http://darrel.knutson.com/mac/www/browsers.html

where it says:

"In no particular order, here are some browsers that work on Mac OS 
9: Opera, iCab, MS Internet Explorer, WannaBe (text only), MacLynx 
(text only) Mozilla, WaMCom Mozilla, Wazilla, Netscape 6/7 (not 
version 4!). Don't expect everything to work with specific web pages 
or web sites.
... your best bet for a modern browser on older systems is iCab 3.0 
which is now the browser I recommend on older systems."

Note that the Mozilla group now also recommends iCab for OS 9 users:
