Topic: What do you expect from the 3DS browser?

With to recent info on the 3DS, it was confirmed that it would have a web browser.

The question is: What do you expect/want from it? HTML5? Flash? Better rendering? Also, since the 3DS will have a browser, that means 3DSHub has a very good chance of becoming a reality. If so, what do you want from 3DSHub?

i expect it to be about as useful as the DSi Browser -- as in, okay in a pinch, but my computer will always be preferable.

and with regards to your second question, idk. DSiHub came and went so quickly i can't see a 3DS version sticking around for long either... :/

I just want to be able to look up info quick... not spend more than a couple minutes or more. Like what TBD said.

Well, at the very least, it SHOULD be improved, since it's newer tech. It obviously won't reach the usefullness of a computer, and probably won't reach the iTouch either. But I just hope it's not as slow and clunky as the DSi's.

Well, I assume that it will be made by Opera again, which means that they will do their best to follow all of the web standards. I have high expectations for the 3DS browser. I'm expecting a few features from the desktop version of Opera to appear on the 3DS. Here are the things I'm hoping to see:

Being able to scan QR codes and being sent straight to the website. (They are using QR codes for Miis, so I don't see why not.)
Tabbed browsing.
Opera Turbo (faster browsing thanks to image compression)
Updated Flash support
Possibly an RSS reader
Automatically download browser updates
Opera Link support (share files)
Speed Dial (works like speed dial on your phone, except for websites)
User interface customization
Opera Unite support (synchronize your bookmarks from PC to 3DS.)

What happened to DSiHub?

One of the main reasons DSiHub was shut down was because of the platform being dead, as the DSi wasn't a true successor to the DS, so it wasn't going to be around for a while in the first place. The 3DS is a successor, and therefore should stay around longer.

The DSi wasn't dead

last i checked, the DSi wasn't dead yet and the 3DS is similar enough for DSiHub to have probably worked on it no problem, but ok

I'm hoping for good things, especially if its true you are able to use it from "Home" while having your game paused in case you want to look up info about a certain section of the game or something to that effect. But like most other comments in this thread I really don't see it as something that can compete with other mobile browsers.

I want Nintendo to ditch Opera and team up with Mozilla to make a Firefox-based browser for the 3DS. But that's probably not going to happen.

In all seriousness, I want flash. The 3DS probably has just enough power to use it. And HTML5 is a good idea too.

Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome, Chrome!

It's open source an available for anyone.

But then again, I wanted the 3DS to run Android.

Faster webpage loading and flash to watch videos.

....A browser, lol. Honestly I doubt I'll ever use it anyway. xD

You guys know flash is a massive power hog right? It would drain the battery easy peasy.

If the browser is at least as good as the Wii one I'll be happy., anything more and wahey!

Lunch I lost hope for you in terms of DS sites... Because Dsihub went way too quickly... I don't think a 3DShub would last long either

Most likely the browser will be much faster, be able to play videos at very slow speeds, and can be able to run New Grounds pretty good

I expect it to be useless as my iTouch and Phone probably handle web 10 times better.

This^ basically...
