Hey, I'm just wondering about Pretendo. I was looking into it, and I already have a modded console running Luma 3ds 13.0.0+ and was just wondering if Pretendo is safe and will not harm my console. The news of the servers for Nintendo 3ds being shut down got my attention, because I love playing online with my console. Also, I'm thinking about installing Thirdtube (a YouTube replacement for the Nintendo 3ds) and was wondering if that was safe as well? I really like my console and am already getting afraid about the consoles' CFW. Just the way I feel when playing my console is great, so I really don't want to brick it. I have a CTRNand backup, but don't know how to fix a brick with it and don't want to go through the trouble of it. I modded my console via. 3ds.hacks.guide. Any thoughts on it?
Homebrew Homebrew app Should I trust Pretendo?

You're going to have to decide for yourself whether your love for playing online outweighs your concerns about using unfinished software.
It's as safe as installing anything else? But I'm not sure if it's working at the moment, and wouldn't practically any other way of watching Youtube videos be a lot more comfortable?
It's a bit late to be afraid now.
I've installed Pretendo on my 3DS and while nothing is 100% certain with these things I can't imagine a situation where it bricks your console. You install the app, run it, choose between Pretendo or official servers, and you're done.
I want to be able to watch YouTube videos in 3D, if that's possible? Also, I just kinda want to test out the features that the application Thirdtube has. Would you recommend installing it via. FBI remote install with a QR Code?

Did you just skip over the part where I said I'm not sure ThirdTube is working at the moment?! If you're not interested in reading documentation, then you should absolutely be VERY afraid.
Taking a look at the last post in https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-thirdtube-a-homebrew-youtube-client-for-the-new-3ds.591696/ suggests that it is, in fact, still working, but you would probably be better off downloading videos separately with youtube-dl or a similar utility, copying them to your SD card, and watching them via Video Player for 3DS. The release notes suggests that Video Player for 3DS does support 3D videos, but I haven't tried that personally and it's not clear if that feature was carried over to ThirdTube.
The means of installing it shouldn't make any difference.
