The report card
Best for a web browser inside VR and AR headsets
Wolvic is a free open source web browser for VR and AR headsets, with Gecko and Chromium versions. Its main developer moved it to maintenance mode in November 2025, with security updates a few times a year. It runs only on standalone Android-based or HarmonyOS XR devices.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free and open source, with no paid plans listed. |
| Free plan and trial | A | The whole browser is free, with no paid plans listed on the site. |
| Features | C | Built for XR, two engines, immersive video and sync with desktop. The listing shows maintenance mode, so little new is coming. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you pick between engine versions and sometimes install a package yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Only standalone Android-based and HarmonyOS XR headsets, with Firefox Sync as the one link. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Wolvic is for
- Fits if you own a Quest, Pico or similar headset and want a web browser in it
- Works for XR builders testing the open web on a headset
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a browser for your phone or computer, as it runs only on XR devices
- Watch out: the main project is in maintenance mode, with security updates a few times a year
- Tight if you sideload: manually installed packages do not update themselves
- Not for you if you want one release line, as Gecko and Chromium versions have separate numbers and device lists

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Wolvic is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could not
- A web browser.
- A real app for Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Wolvic’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
