I have not tried any of these, not having a Windows 98 system, but a bit of research reveals:
- Internet Explorer 6 SP1 was the last IE, in 2001.
- Firefox 2 was the last Firefox in 2006.
- Netscape 8 (2005) or Netscape 9 (2007) are available here.
- Opera 10 (2009) seems to be the last available, here.
- Safari and Chrome never supported Windows 98.
Browsers carried on supporting Windows XP for much longer, because it was a better platform for software development and testing.

That latest web browser I am able to find is K-Meleon 74 Windows 9x Edition. It was created in 2014, when the Pale Moon engine (Goanna) was backported for Windows 2000. It requires KernelEx (and the latest updates) and a rather beefy old machine to run.
You could also experiment with other later browser versions on top of KernelEx, as it adds NT support to Windows 98. If not, then you're stuck with the official latest versions, of which Opera 10 is probably the best.

IE6 was the last Internet Explorer on Windows98 SE and IE5.5 with high encryption pack for Windows95. These were important for Citrix, and quite a bit of software leveraged IE6 dll's, notably Ultra-Edit.
