For those who still own a copy of the DS Browser, you’re bound to someday miss the functionalities of a full fledged desktop browser. Not only can you not open a new “tab” nor save cookies, the DS browser feels sort of incomplete. Even when you check off “Automatically log me in” on any sort of webpage, it simply doesn’t work.

So I dug around for a bit, and found some pretty awesome “extra features” that you can easily “install” to the DS Browser. Not only is there a tabbing feature, there’s also a password-saving like feature to save time logging in to webpages. Want to find out how? Read on!

The first one I’m going to write here is how to do the tabs. Although it’s sort of buggy and could crash your DS Browser, it’s real cool to have. It’s based off a javascript code that launches through the bookmarks window. Try it out for yourself.

The next one I dug up is an “add on” called Wand. It’s also based off javascript, however, it doesn’t crash that much and even works with the DS Browser GUI.

There’s a slight issue where some webpages simply don’t like Wand. Take on DSDatabase. For some reason, logging in with Wand redicts you back to the login page. To get past this, simply “be quicker” than Wand. There’s a split second after Wand inputs the User and Password, and at this time, hit the “submit” button. This can get you past websites with issues.

That’s all for now!
