Dose anyone know of any usable homebrew web Browsers for the (New)3DS I have tried to find some but the only one I could locate was kuppa cruiser and it always crashed. If you know of any please let me know.

Thanks

TLDR:
It can't be done. The (N)3DS is simply too under-powered to load modern websites.
Have to disagree on this. Depending on what is the goal, a 3DS – especially the new type consoles – would be able to handle it. Probably slow, but basic browsing (possibly in mobile mode if a site supports one) should be in range. Adblocking, script blocking and prevention of automatic inclusion for third-party content should be part of such a hypothetical browser to not exhaust all resources in the first second.

In my opinion the problem preventing serious attempts by talented/knowledgeable developers to port a browser engine to 3DS is the "Use your phone! Don't you have a phone?"-attitude. As if the existence of more suitable devices for a task would be a good reason for not trying anything on older stuff.
While we are at it: A powerful PC and a smartphone from the top class could replace pretty much every old thing via emulation.
