The lynx browser is also quite useable in the mac environment provided
you're not afraid of the mac terminal and its command line. The fink
repository has it ready and available for download.

Sadly, for accessibility there is no single "best browser" out there. My
guess would be IE but that also depends upon which screen access tool
you will be using with it.
For instance, Firefox 3.6 works well on Windows with JAWS and NVDA.
Firefox 3.5 works great with orca on GNU/Linux systems but 3.6 breaks in
a bunch of places with orca. Safari is the only solution worth a poop on
Macintosh where Firefox is completely inaccessible.
So, use testing tools, remediate the pages and report any subsequent
findings of failure to the browser and AT vendors.
