For System 7, I'd suggest this one: http://main.system7today.com/browsercentral.html

netscape 4.8 requires mac os 7.6.1
Maximum os for the SE/30 : system 7.5.5

Oops, sorry. You are absolutely right.
I'd say MS Internet Explorer 4 or Netscape Communicator 4.0.8 then. Although I hate to admit it, I think MSIE is better than Netscape for that vintage.

iCab 2.9.9 is nice also, but unbearably slow and unresponsive in my experience.

All depends on what OS you are running. If you want fast, I'd say use a text-based browser such as Lynx. I am sure there must be some similar MacOS program. But as fast as it is, many pages won't render well.
For full graphical page rendering I second the choice of iCab. It was the most recently supported 68k browser that I am aware of. Otherwise there are old IE, Netscape, Mosaic, and others.

If you want images of any sort, I'd say Netscape 3 on an SE/30, though there will be no support for modern standards such as CSS. On my old hardware I personally really like WannaBe, which is text-only but lightning fast. If the accessibility standards were universally applied (every site is supposed to have a workable text-only version for the visually impaired), WannaBe would actually be a viable browser for most old machines.
Cyberdog is also fun to see in action on something like a Quadra, but I don't think I would want to run it on an SE/30.

Any screenshots of wannabe in action? Can you go to instapaper.com and let me know how it looks/acts? Thanks!
