Does it have good adblock, script blocking and web debugging, via plugins is fine? If so then I will probably be able to use it. Time was I would have wanted a download helping program for video sites, or possibly something like greasemonkey and associated scripts, but http://www.videograbby.com/ is doing well for me at this point and youtube comments don't load by default so I never have to see them.
Practically it means something firefox based (pale moon is doing what needs doing on the main machine) as I have not found a suitable replacement for adblock, noscript and firebug.

I'm honestly torn between Chrome and Waterfox (an obvious mozilla clone).
Waterfox does almost everything I want perfectly, but seems to have problems with twitch.tv even with addons/extensions.

Waterfox isn't a clone, it's a fork. There are many Firefox forks, mainly intended to get around the non-free Mozilla branding.
Ahh right, I had never heard the term 'fork' until now. Thanks for the enlightenment!
It's still unpolished, but the most important thing is it blocks ads natively.
Probably a good idea to learn the term because forks are extremely common in homebrew development.Ahh right, I had never heard the term 'fork' until now. Thanks for the enlightenment!

The difference between a fork and a clone is that 'clone' implies some kind of illegitmate attempt to copy the work of others, whereas a fork is a completely legitimate derivative based on the same source code.
Try the Fasterfox addon and set it to the Ultra setting, it speeds up Firefox a lot.
You forgot Edge. I haven't used it but I hear it's actually pretty good.
I used Firefox for a long time, switched to Chrome for a while then back to Firefox when I realized how much of a RAM hog Chrome was (also, I missed my addons)

Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
