A browser designed for mixed reality, as Mozilla likes to describe its new web browser, Firefox Reality is here to offer computer users unrestricted access to new and emerging technologies, including AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality), on Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Yes, Firefox Reality is the world’s first open-source and cross-platform browser for mixed reality. While there are already various solutions out there for browsing and accessing the Internet using standalone virtual and augmented reality headsets, such as the Opera web browser, they are closed source, so Mozilla steps in to offer us an independent and Open Source solution, providing transparency for users and making it easier for manufacturers to support it for their devices.
