Hub Browser is a handy app that lets you open articles from within the Hub allowing you to be a bit more productive and efficient in the way you work on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone. It doesn't just work from within the Hub either, it can work via other apps too, wherever you get sent a link, you can open it via Hub Browser so you don't have to leave the app you're in.
