Whats the best browser for a netbook please ?

Hi, I have just got a new netbook, an Acer Aspire AO725 with windows 8. Our last laptop had vista and we used firefox. am currently using ie and windows 8 is taking some getting used to but don't really like bing and am used to google but would be open to suggestion.
I guess I don't want anything that's going to clog up or slow things down as the processor is only amd c70 but the ram is 4gb if that helps or makes sense.

Cheers M :)

    If you liked FireFox on the previous laptop there's no reason why you shouldn't carry on using it on the netbook.

  • I second the above posts. I have a (now slightly old) Acer netbook which runs XP (did I mention its old and I hate Vista?) which runs Firefox no probs. I use it on my laptop too. Chrome is good too but I'm too lazy to shift all my bookmarks across!
    I don't like chick flicks, I get grazed knuckles doing my own car repairs and I ride a massive cruiser motorbike. To many this makes me a bloke in disguise but to my husband this makes me perfect
