Homebrew Web browsers for (New)3DS?

[Drvulcanlord]

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

There is a thread right here where someone tried to implement one:

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.

No point on using your 3DS for surfing the web, where you can use a mobile phone or PC, plus they get updates more often.

Old-ish thread, I know...but I just finished my port of NetSurf to the 3DS. Hopefully, it helps!

Someone ported NetSurf to the 3ds.

Search in the thread first. The one who ported it even posted it there.
