How do you define "best"? Your question is close to be left unanswered. Anyway, in addition to the other advises, I'd like to point to emacs-w3 mode, which is on the best way to become the first free browser with useable frame support and some other goodies (like driving TeX to print Web pages). On Xemacs, it supports inline graphics, too. Then there is a browser written in Objective Caml called mmm. It is supposed to have a very clean implementation. If you want to extend the browser and you're biased towards functional typed programming languages, it might be an excellent choice.
