Support NeoGAF

[PtM]

As you may know, the New 3DS' web browser is the weakest sauce. And since smartphones' growing horse-power and free wifi access points make bandwidth optimisation a secondary concern, its adequacy is diminishing. So I'm curious, what mobile sites do you know that still run tolerably on it?

3DS specific (some from this thread)

• http://pushmo.3dsfans.com user-generated levels for Pushmo/Pullblox
• http://www.3ds-screenshot.com inactive, but still up
• http://3ds.toxigon.com some 3D pics
• http://3dspaint.com/ all sorts of web stuff/apps, also home to the U's SDKpaint, I guess
• http://www.3dsplaza.com/home.php similar to above, though even more community oriented
• http://surii.net/ some stuff, mainly a Star-Wars-I adventure and a browser dig
• http://home4dsi.net/menu.htm actually DSi specific; you won't be able to watch those vids
• http://i.nintendo.net/3ds Upload screenshots from a restricted bunch of software to twitter, facebook and whatnot Spyware warning: In return for this service, Nintendo wants to look at your social activity!
• http://www.nintendo.com/3ds/internetbrowser/bookmarks NoA's starting page for the 3DS browser provides links to mobile pages for some games and stuff; got reduced to the absolute minimum, an advert for the console eshop, a link about AR eshop cards, the above upload page and 3DS support; booh!
• http://microsite.nintendo-europe.com/nintendo3dsbookmarks/ NoE's version has just a few standard links, yet their recently overhauled mobile site is often too heavy to load properly.

Gaming

• http://m.neogaf.com works well enough if you disable all images in the preferences; some images will show up anyways; you'll need to check that box on log-in or else you'll get logged out pretty much instantly.
• http://www.blackdragon.mobi some text based MMO I know nothing about
• http://m.gamefaqs.com/search
• http://m.nintendolife.com recent overhaul made it lame af
• http://www.gameinformer.com/Utility/Mobile/Lite/main.aspx like a charm
• htttp://www.destructoid.com/?nav=mobile&mode=mobile pretty lame
• http://m.edge-online.com takes its time
• http://www.develop-online.net
• http://m.ign.com eh, could be worse
• http://www.giantbomb.com blows, and it's mostly AV media
• http://kotaku.com slowed down by some JS
• http://www.gamespot.com works well enough
• http://www.nintendo.co.jp/netinfo/en_GB/index.html Status page for Nintendo's online services

Other

• https://m.facebook.com I guess they still need to look after their bandwidth
• https://mobile.twitter.com also pretty slick
• http://m.gmail.com same
• http://i.mobypicture.com Image site
• http://m.flickr.com
• http://m.imdb.com
• http://www.amazon.__/gp/aw kiss principle to the max, very fast, fully functional
• http://slashdot.org/palm simple and fast
• http://m.cbc.ca/m/touch has some weird-ass windowing, else fine
• http://mobile.nytimes.com
• http://www.usatoday.com
• http://espn.go.com
• http://m.wund.com Weather
• http://m.gutenberg.org/ read some books

R.I.P.

• http://gonintendo.com/m/ used to be one of the fastest sites until a fairly recent makeover
• http://mobile.mcvuk.com similar to gonintendo, they recently closed down their slim mobile view
• http://en.m.wikipedia.org has grown fat and fatter
• http://r.mippin.com/mip/plus/list.jsp?id=84652 fast, tiny-bit sized site you've never heard of

Oh yeah, almost forgot: You can set your google preferences to encode search results in a mobile friendly fashion. You can abuse this to save a fast bookmark to any webpage by prepending "http://www.google.com/gwt/x?u=" to the actual URL.

I could also post some German sites, if interested.

When I got a 3DS at launch I was trying to find sites that were 3D or had movies that played in 3D. I gave up.

That's quite an extensive list you got. But almost any smartphone or tablet browser beats the 3DS for browsing and these are ubiquitous among us. Because of that I can't see many adding more onto your list.
