Well, the official dreamcast webbrowser saw an official sega released update in the form of a free disc you could mail off for. Also, small monthly updates arrived in the form of Official dreamcast magazine discs, which had the most up-to-date webbrowser always included.
EDIT: there is also XDP, which is a homebrew browser that is in between planet web and dreamkey.A retarded Sonic.

Uhm Dreamkey or whatever was in Chu Chu Rocket. It's been so long but the best browsers were from Japan. The Planetweb browsers were terrible.

Bit of a long shot, but you could try a Dreamcast Linux distro. The DC is too underpowered to run Firefox or Chrome, but you could try something like Links. Originally Posted by the.importer

Since I frequently find Firefox taking up more than 500MB of RAM, I seriously doubt it could be made for the Dreamcast without major concessions. Supporting modern websites better than the existing Dreamcast browsers would just take too much memory.
