What do you guys recommend to surf the web?

Ruby

I starting learning how to use sockets but a lot of people are
complaining why I don’t use something else so I was wondering which is
another way to surf the web? Remember I want a fast way to surf the web,
ideally a way as fast as a socket.

No. I mean like an http client like Net:HTTP or something.

Net::HTTP is the standard. RFuzz also comes with a pretty good HTTP
client. I think there is one called Net::Simple or Simple::HTTP too.

open-uri and mechanize work quite nicely.

I think you should probably read some introductory material on
networking, sockets in particular and HTTP before you go on with this. I
have the feeling that you still have some misconceptions about these
terms. You’ll find plenty of stuff on this on the web, try wikipedia
for a start. My 0.02EUR
