checking webs/ surfing the net
En Argentina en lenguaje coloquial decimos "huevear" o "hacer huevo" cuando hacemos algo sin un fin determinado (cuando estamos aburridos por ejemplo. Básicamente es no hacer nada, el típico "hanging" en inglés). El término "webear" sería mirar webs sin objetivo puntual, como "ir paseando" por la red.

Comment: "Nobody was actually wrong here, so I'll say this because my finally solution was "general web surfing" and VF also mentioned the other meaning of "huevear". Thanks everybody!"

Use the internet
I believe webeo is the present tense of webear, which is slang for using the internet. I don't believe there is a direct translation for this term.

After Gary's comment, perhaps a better term in this instance would be:
