Access Other Sites Using 3DS YouTube App

The whole point of having a YouTube App on the 3DS would be for 3D Videos as they look 100% better on mobile. Until I can watch 3D vidoes theres simply no point in me using the app.

In my opinio Nintendo should allow more free apps for the 3Ds such as free games like Subway Surfers

The videos look horrendous, even when set to HQ, its just bad quality. One thing that disappoints me about the 3DS XL is the lack of high resolution on both screens.

Gutted, i haven't downloaded it yet but sounds like its not even worthwhile...

Indeed.
I think its bandwidth more then cpu they were thinking - certainly the gpu can handle way better. (I mean, Nintendo sends us 3D videos in higher res no problem).

Seems like they have been very lazy here - just some cut down browser probably going for lowest mobile stream (3gp? something like that, if you use a downloader like JDownload you can see youtube has quite a few streams and there relative filesizes).

 Ok, according to some random sites its;

Chrome version 9.0.597

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (en-us) AppleWebKit/534.14 (KHTML, like Gecko; Google Wireless Transcoder) 

Actually you can't download Google Chrome. If you try a bunch of letters and numbers pop up and then it resets the 3DS. I have already tried it several times and do not recomend it.

The article is over a year old, Nintendo probably patched it in this time. 

And besides it's not about installing chrome on the system, of course you can't, it's about pushing the software to redirect you to a page from which you may visit other webpages, through the page that invites you to download Chrome, including other video hosting sites. I tried it personally but yeah, it tends to make the youtube app crash, not to mention the fact that it's awfully slow. Now that the New 3DS is coming out with a better web browser that supports HTML5 video, you won't need to use that anymore if you purchase the new console anyway.

It also works very well on the new 3DS

I think its good but it doesnt work on my 2DS for whatever reason, and I am signed in
