What makes one browser better than another is how well it adheres to the published standards and so behaves in a predictable manner.
AbE:
In an ideal world a web page should display, look and feel the same on any computer, regardless of the browser used or specific display involved. Unfortunately, that is not currently the case.
The biggest issue is placement on a page, both horizontal and vertical, and a graceful way to control relative sizes of text, columns, rows, images.
Style sheets hold the promise of being able to do that, but only if all the browsers implement the standards as set out in the Style Standard.
Edited by jar, : add more info

CSS = Cascading Style Sheets
Style sheets control the visual aspects of a web page, things like colors, layout, placement, fonts, backgrounds.
The Style sheets separate layout from content so that all pages will have the same look and feel.
CSS3 is the third major iteration of the standards for style sheets.
