It appears that depends on your needs. For some they need LYNX (http://lynx.browser.org/ ) for their special needs which others won't do.
Given so little detail, you may find no suitable answer.

Best security-wise? If it's security you're interested in, it's not so much about your browser as it is about you and the actions you take - or don't take. Security starts and ends with you. That said, some do offer more security than others.
Best in the sense of ease of use? That would be your choice to make. If it were my main interest, I would try a few and go with what I was comfortable with.
Best to you might mean the fastest browser, while best to another something different. It all boils down to your wants and needs. Another reason why (as Bob pointed out) ... details are important.
Other than that, you can always take to Google which will offer you loads of articles such as "Browser Wars: Chrome vs. IE9 vs. Firefox". Or "Best browser 2012: which should you be using?" which breaks it down by speed, add-ons, Operating Systems, privacy, etc.
And that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Best of luck..

If you love Google's products, you should give a try to Chrome. Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google. It combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
No doubt. Google Chrome is the best for the general purpose. Its operating speed, loading time everything is better than mozilla, IE or any other browser.
There are many best web browser
1. Mozilla Firefox
2. Google chrome
3. Opera
4. Maxthon
5. Midori
Google Chrome is best browser. There are tons of extensions that improve the browser's functionality. And best of all.
Here are the top three: Chrome. Google Chrome loads quickly for the first few months after you have it and then starts to slow down. Some websites don't like it, while others do. It is also made by Google, making it awesome. If you use Google software a lot, go with Chrome. Safari. Safari is pretty slow at first, but then gets just a little bit faster. If you use Apple Devices, go with it. There are many cool features for IOS or Mac devices. Safari goes well with all kinds of websites. It's a slower browser and it can be tricky to find add-ons for it. Firefox-firefox is a standard browser. The tabs are like Safari, but the way its set up is entirely different from Chrome and Safari. It loads same speed, and just keeps chugging along. Most advanced features are not formatted for Fire Fox, simply because Apple and Google control the world right now, and all the cool features are on Chrome and Safari. But Fire Fox is very reliable. It can be tricky to make it work. Everything is simple, secure, and fast on all of these browsers. It's all just a matter of personal opinion-whether you like Apple, Google, or want to go Rogue with Mozilla Fire Fox. I use all three of them on a regular basis. You'll find that they're always in the top five on any ratings on browsers out there. If you still use Internet Explorer, I would highly suggest downloading a different browser.
If browser privacy ... as in can you reliably delete your history .... is important, then don't go for IE!!! This article 'why IE does not fully delete your history' explains why.
if I'm using Windows. I use a Browser called Pale Moon that's Mozilla based but is optimized for Windows. It doesn't work with Mac or Linux. Very Fast and you can use all of the Fire Fox extensions and plugins
