I have a laptop with Windows 98 on it. I have done extensive research into which browser is the most modern and able to be used on Windows 98. The most modern browser is SeaMonkey browser version 1.1.19 which was released in March 2010. The newest Firefox browser able to be used on Windows 98 is version 2.0.0.20 which was released in 2008. Just for comparison, Internet Explorer 6 (the last I.E. able to be used on Windows 98) was released in 2001.

Here's a later, and more mainstream browser:

It is possible to run Opera 10.63 with Flash Plugin 9.0.283.0 on Windows 98 SE. (Opera 11.0 fails to install on Win98SE)

Opera 10.63 released Oct. 12, 2010 (http://www.opera.com/docs/history/#o1063)

Download:

I believe Opera 10.60 scored 100/100 on Acid 3 testing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3

Here's an old comparison of Opera with IE and Firefox:

If you visit this site:
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/130936-kernelex-451/page__st__1200
and page on down, they state that Opera 11.10 can be made to work with Windows98SE using Kernelex 4.5.1.
