It is difficult to actually say which browser is the best, at the end of the day depends on the user.
The IE 7 has a Trident rendering engine, which has shown vulnerability to trojan horse, worms etc., however, the IE7 also offers the best compatibility with websites, because all web pages are designed after taking into consideration the requirements of the IE 7 browser. With the advent of tabbed browsing, the user experience of Internet has changed, so Microsoft finally incorporated tabbed browsing.
The Avant Browser, is also based on the Trident engine, but
it performs faster than, Internet Explorer 7. Also, it has certain additional features like online storage of bookmarks, form fills etc. The best part is that Avant delivers the fastest performance on the Trident engine. However, the risks of spyware etc. remain, because they are
using Microsoft Engine.
The Mozilla Firefox is based on the Gecko engine, which was
borrowed from Netscape. Mozilla is an open source initiative. Hence, the reason for its popularity. Mozilla has the best security features, in fact it does not even render some web pages if the website contains some malicious code which can harm your pc. However, Mozilla Firefox still has problems rendering web pages sometimes, because of compatibility or plugins.
The Opera browser has a Presto engine, this is again very fast, plus it has the added benefit of low memory consumption. However, it's configuration is not user friendly. So, you have to take some time to get used to it.
So, i think the best solution will be that you test all the
browsers check out which features you like and then accordingly select the browser of your choice.
Just remember all of them have excellent features and it totally depends on the user. Do not go by word of mouth advice, test them and check out, for best results.

Mozilla Firefox is the best browser in my opinion. Reasons below:
1) Mozilla is open sourced and upgrades appear faster as there is a larger pool of ideas coming in. Anybody using firefox would have noticed the regular update prompts that appear.
2) Mozilla is more secure. There are lesser vulnerabilities and most of them get fixed pretty soon.
3) Firefox is faster than IE which is the most popular.
4) There are cool features in firefox. It was one of the first browsers to implement tabbed browsing. The newer version firefox 2.0 also has the spelling notification feature.
5) The best and most important feature is that it is FREE. anybody can download and use it.
