Can i use my supercard mini-sd and superkey with the NDS Browser? I've seen a couple posts stating that Opera doesn't work with both. I know that opera is a browser and that the nds browser is opera (@ least i think it is) but is it different?

try the one that comes with DS ORGANISE  :)

I bought OPERA for DS and to be honest its not that great .. its fine for email checking and a general browse about but no real serious use  :(

You'd need to have both a slot-1 card and a slot-2 card in order to run the Opera DS Web Browser rom, the slot-1 to hold the rom and the slot-2 to act as RAM.  The Superkey is just a NoPass device and doesn't count as a slot-1 homebrew device.

So if you had an R4 or M3 Simply or Supercard DS you could store the rom on that and use your Supercard miniSD as RAM.  Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the homebrew browsers.

As long as you don't have the Rumble series, you could run DSLinux on your SC miniSD and use its Links and Retawq browsers, both of which are text-only but are very refined since they existed before DSLinux came about and were simply ported to the OS.  It's somewhat difficult to use DSLinux though, so perhaps an easier solution might be better.  In that case, you can use the DSOrganize built-in web browser or Bunjalloo.  There's also DSHobro but it doesn't do too much at the moment.  My order of preference for the homebrew browsers:
1.  DSLinux browsers
2.  DSO
3.  Bunjalloo
4.  DSHobro

I ended up buying the Opera browser when I was visiting London, mostly because our school's wireless network doesn't work with DS homebrew and I wanted to be able to browse the web from my DS in my spare time there.  Like kkan said, it's good for general browsing and such, and it's actually fairly fast if you turn off images.  It can receive the images quickly, but processing them and putting them on the page takes a long time.
