    Hi, I'm using the latest version of firefox on my netbook (Acer Aspire 1), however it is very unstable. It keeps getting frozen and says "not responding".

    Whats the best browser for a netbook - a basic and reliable one.....

    I second for Chrome, its simple and light on resources... some great features too like being the first browser with Bookmark Sync, also has Password Sync and Settings Sync... been using it now for the last few years and very happy with it, wouldnt use any other option.

    Chrome is realy good option, i use it on my wife's netbook and it's fast enough without any lags etc.

    Thirded. Chrome all the way. I was a FireFox user for years, it has nothing on Chrome which I've been using for just under a year now.
    Much less glitchy/stally

    Edit: fourthed-ed.....?!

    Chrome here too - like a few was Firefox for years but tried Chrome and just loved it, especially the Omnibox (allows you to search in the address bar) although I think most browsers have this now too.

    I would back chrome aswell. It uses the least screen space and doesn't eat memory like Firefox.
