I’ve been testing out Opera Mini Beta 5 on my Blackberry Storm for about a week now, and I’m ready to ditch both the Blackberry default browser and Opera Mini 4.

This might not be news to everyone (or anyone…) but the kind folks over at Lifehacker have put together a great post that streamlines how to set up permanent tabs in Firefox and some other goodies for GMail & Google Reader. I’ve been using this set up for only about an hour or so and I am already kicking myself for not installing Better GMail 2 & Better GReader 2 before today (considering how much I use these applications).
