Opera or Firefox. Seriously, opera has improved so much over the years. Back in 07, I absolutely hated it. Now with 10.60 and how fast, customizable, and easy to use it is, it could easily be my favorite browser.

You can put ABP in it too, so don't worry. But it is good to have both FF/Opera.

Chrome is a lot faster but I personally can't stand how streamline the layout is.

Most definitely not FireFox. The best browser I've found for my netbook is Opera. Chrome is decent, but gets bogged down with lots of tabs open. Opera hardly chugs at all unless you have a ton of other things running at the same time.

Opera is faster than Chrome and it comes out of the box with dozens of things for which Firefox requires an add-on.

Firefox bogs my netbook down sometimes. Chrome is a lot faster. I've been meaning to try opera but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Either netbook or desktop you should go for Opera. It's fast and not buggy.

More like:

Opera if you want fast, Chrome if you want add-ons, Firefox if Chrome doesn't suit your need for add-ons.

I would try them in that order.

Opera is very fast, and if you use the opera turbo option then you go 50% faster than normal opera. Its easily the fastest browser then (at least for me.) And the interface is just... Awesome in every way.

Been using FireFox ever since I started university last year and I'm very satisfied with it.

Chrome. Maybe even look into the Chrome OS coming later this year.
