More people visited social-networking sites than used search engines in May, according to web-analysis firm Hitwise.
It is the first time that social networking has been more popular than web search, according to the company.
Facebook accounted for 55 per cent of all UK social-networking visits - almost three times as many as second placed YouTube.
Twitter came in third place ahead of Bebo and MySpace.
Despite the rise in social-networking visits, Google.co.uk and Google.com still dominate the market accounting for nine in every 10 web searches last month.
Facebooks popularity was recently threatened over furore involving privacy changes.
Bebo, meanwhile, has faced tough criticism in the past few months being dubbed Bully-bo due to its reputation of being rife with cyberbullying. There was also an outcry from members at plans to shut Bebo down.
