Ah-ha-ha-ha! That's what I needed to do. Using the first set of DNSes given in the description seemingly work like a charm. It fails to load the update nag and then launches me into Browserhax (though it's a bit longer than what it was before).
Seems like Browserhax is still safe for now! Thank you for the helpful advice!
Pretty much. Everybody is reporting that Nintendo slipped this update nag in somehow in 9.9 and up. If you're below that, then you're just fine!
FOLLOWUP: May be onto something, here. Got it to connect to my stupid proprietory server written in a stupidly high language. Anyone wanna recommend a php compatible web server?

By the way I have a 2ds, because before my Nintendo boycott I had two ds lites break due to hinge issues so I bought a 2ds to avoid that.
I regret making that decision because had I not bought a 2ds, I could be playing GBA games by now. Shit.
I like how in small ass font you put doesn't work on a 2ds playing with people's emotions and shit.

So I got the Homebrew channel back up and working for me and also installed the offline version of themehax. I'm using a N3DS (New Nintendo 3DS XL) running on NEW 9.9.0-26U
I used the two DNS things that Seita thankfully mentioned:
This method worked perfectly for me, so I hope this helps other people who are struggling~ xD
Tips:
- For people who were already using Homebrew but just can't use it at the moment, you already have the starter kit. Don't worry about getting it again.
-Make sure your theme is not a Custom-Theme nor a bought theme. It can be any of the DEFAULT themes, but I highly suggest the original White theme.
- Do NOT think you're done after you install the offline themehax. Do the last step or else your N3DS will most likely get screwed up, as she says in the Quote. Skipping steps for this thing is insane.
- I tried this method on my 2DS, which is OLD 9.9.0-26U, but I had forgotten that I never affiliated my 2DS with Browserhax. So there's another clumsy reason it might not work on a 2DS.
-When the bottom screen starts flashing colors and it freezes (most likely at the color yellow) just restart your N3DS and do the method over (To when you disable the 3DS' wireless capabilities)
-If the bottom screen freezes, wait up to at least 20 seconds before you restart.
HOW TO USE THEMEHAX:
1. Turn your N3DS on.
2. Wait until the HOME Menu loads.
3. Press the Power Button so you get to the menu where you can Power Off the N3DS.
4. Press the HOME Menu button.
5. Right after you press the HOME Menu button, hold down the L button for 5-8 seconds and then let go.
6. It loads! If it doesn't work, turn your N3DS off and redo the steps.

...and tried nearly 50 times (I'm not exaggerating) trying to get browserhax to work and restarting my N3DS over and over with no luck. But then, I found this:
Using Smea's website ( https://smealum.github.io/3ds/ )
First obtain the starter kit, and put this on the root of your SD (don't forget to also download the offline version of themehax from op, install that after the kit and confirm the file overwrite), then, obtain the otherapp payload corresponding to your version, it should be a bin file (mine was named POST5_U_20480_usa_9221.bin for example), this file goes to the root of your SD card, you should also grab the ropbin payload since we'll need it for later, it'll have the same exact name as the otherapp payload but with a (1) appended at the end, rename it to menuhax_ropbinpayload.bin
Next, turn off your 3DS' wireless capabilities, go to your browser, clear your cookies/history and back out,
use L+R to turn on the camera and scan this QR code
Confirm to launch browser, you will get an error message saying wireless communications are disabled, that's fine, now back out of your browser, turn on wireless, and go back to your browser ... your bottom screen should flash a few colors, and if done correctly the homebrew menu should boot up allowing you to install themehax offline version (for me it was at the very bottom of the list), notice that we are not dont just yet.
Now, after all of this is said and done, the menuhax_ropbinpayload.bin file that we downloaded earlier, place it in the root of your SD card and confirm the overwrite process. (https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-how-to-install-2-5-on-themehax-manually.400784/page-5)

Glad to hear it worked for you. Just one thing to help you. If you ever need to boot browserhax, you can do it almost always by booting the browser as fast as you can. If not just use the touch screen to disable your wifi,enable it again after 10 seconds or so and instantly booting browserhax.
How is the browser checking the firmware? By phoning home to some nintendo server? if thats the case, then cant i just use a proxy to filter out that url? I could even use my own dns server to redirect the url requests to anywhere.
I have a japanese new3ds on 9.9 and your method works everytime opening web browser as fast a si can when i boot the 3ds (with tubehax dns)
Also noticed that you are not obliged to do it when switching on the 3ds
After boot just enter settings and leave settings and opening web browser as fast as you can also works, that way you don't need to switch off and switch on to enter browserhax
Edit: perhaps it also work that way with o3ds?
Also found that if you press power button and then home button and open web browser fastly
It also works
