Konqueror's an alright browser.
You have to remember that the majority of websites out there are coded with IE in mind, sometimes specifically for IE; there are sites out there that just won't work with any other browser. It's often not the browsers fault that the page/s that you're viewing don't look 'right'.

As for which one's 'best', that's pretty subjective.
I personally use Mozilla - set it up right and it's the dogs swingers.

Don't bother. It still works as a file manager.
