So many places have actually put limits to what you can get from the Net. Many schools have blocked social network sites and broadband hogs. Some countries just don’t even allow people to access sites. Oh yes, not to exclude those nasty network admins who love to deprive you your daily Internet trash.

So while you can use circumventors and proxy sites, many network admins are fast to crack down on this. So one other solution is to use something that looks “legal” in the eyes of the network admins but does practically the same thing.

So here’s Opera Mini (beta) Simulator. It’s a Java run tool that lets you preview websites as they would appear using Opera Mini on a cell phone. While it’s supposed to be designed for designers and developers to preview how sites will look using the mobile browser, it does the job in letting you access sites. Like access your webmail accounts.

I don’t think it works with video sharing sites, though as it doesn’t have a Flash plug-in to boot.
