Wolvic

Wolvic is an open source web browser built for extended reality headsets. Wolvic describes itself as an independent XR browser with a custom interface for XR, support for multiple windows, tabs and extensions, sync with desktop browsers and external keyboards.

It exists in two versions, one on the Gecko engine and one on Chromium: version 1.10 of the Gecko edition and version 1.4 of the Chromium edition were both released on 1 October 2026. The downloads page lists APKs for Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro, Pico Neo3, Pico4 and Pico4E, Huawei VR Glasses and Vision Glass and Lynx, and for the Chromium edition also Magic Leap 2.

Wolvic is developed by Igalia, S.L., an open source consultancy. The Wolvic privacy policy gives Bugallal Marchesi 22, 1º, 15008 A Coruña, Galicia, Spain as the registered office and applies the GDPR and Spanish data protection law, and Igalia says it was founded in A Coruña in September 2001.

The terms state that Wolvic is available under the Mozilla Public License and that no trademark rights to the Wolvic name or logo are granted. The FAQ explains the lineage: Igalia built an experiment on a fork of Firefox Reality, approached Mozilla, and was not paid by Mozilla for the work.

Wolvic is free. Its FAQ says funding comes from XR device makers that want an open source browser, from multi-year funding committed by Igalia, and from a collective launched under Open Prioritization.

According to the privacy policy, Igalia does not collect data that identifies the user, receives only statistical and non-identifying data, and does not access or store the addresses visited. Voice input is different: it is sent to the servers of each headset platform, such as the Oculus Voice SDK, and Igalia says those third parties may be outside the EU. Wolvic only makes sense with a supported headset, and sideloaded APKs do not update themselves.

What Wolvic does well

• Open source under the Mozilla Public License, with a Gecko and a Chromium version
• Igalia, S.L. names a registered office in A Coruña and applies the GDPR and Spanish law
• Runs on Meta Quest, Pico, Huawei and Lynx headsets, and on Magic Leap 2 in the Chromium edition
• Igalia states it collects no data that identifies the user and stores no visited addresses
• Supports multiple windows, tabs, extensions and sync with desktop browsers

Where Wolvic falls short

• Built only for XR headsets, not for phones or laptops
• Manually installed APKs do not auto-update
• Voice input is processed by the headset platform vendors, which may be outside the EU
• The FAQ says the size of the team varies with the funding Igalia and partners provide

Standout feature. Wolvic is the only browser in this list built for headsets, an open source project from a Spanish free software consultancy that grew out of a Firefox Reality fork.
