The Nintendo 3DS Internet Browser is an internet browser designed for the Nintendo 3DS system. It was released via firmware update on June 6, 2011 in North America and June 7, 2011 in Europe and Japan.^[1]

Features

The browser does not function as a primary app on the 3DS system and as such can be used while another application such as a game cartridge is suspended in the background. The browser is primarily controlled with the stylus, but can be controlled by using the Circle Pad or the D-pad to cycle through links on the page.

The browser itself supports standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript and some HTML5 elements but does not support Flash, video and music files.^[2] It can also show 3D image files with the .MPO file extension on the upper screen and will allow the user to save the image to their SD card, this can also be done with 2D JPEG files. Due to memory limitations large pages may not be able to download fully.

The user will be able to choose between the Google search engine and Yahoo search engine. There is a text wrap option to automatically wrap text to the width of the screen at different zoom levels. Users can also create bookmarks. Up to 32 pages can be stored into the browser's history before the older items start being replaced.

The browser is based on NetFront NX v1.0, which uses the Webkit rendering engine, similar to desktop web browsers such as Google Chrome and Apple Safari.^[3]
