Webber's best time of one minute 19.574 seconds around the Hungaroring circuit was 0.484 quicker than German team mate Sebastian Vettel and 1.150 faster than third placed Fernando Alonso's Ferrari.
Vettel, who will be chasing his fourth pole in a row and seventh in 12 races in later qualifying, dominated Friday's practice and would have gone faster on Saturday but for traffic.
The speed of the Red Bull and Ferrari has raised questions about the legality of their front wings, with McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh raising doubts about their flexibility at speed.
Both Red Bull and Ferrari say the wings meet all the regulations.
McLaren's Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton was sixth fastest while world champion team mate Jenson Button was ninth.
Both said after Friday practice that they expected a difficult qualifying.
"I guess this weekend's just about scoring as many points as we can and hoping that the guys ahead have troubles," said Hamilton, who is 14 points clear of Button.
Poland's Robert Kubica, with plenty of fans in the crowd at the nearest race to his homeland, was fourth fastest for Renault.
Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa was fifth, a year on from the major accident in qualifying last year that left him in a coma with series head injuries.
