Compatible Chrome, Firefox Version 55 Bring Virtual Reality Technology, Which Is Greater

Once updated in June 2017, Mozilla will bring virtual reality technology (VR) in the latest version of Forefox. The plan of the feature will be available in the 55 version browser and scrolled starting today.

Quoted from The Verge, Wednesday (9/8/2017), web-based VR in Firefox will be tried by Windows OS users and have a VR headset like Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.

Actually Mozilla has been developing the feature for some time lately. Mozilla uses a programming standard called WebVR. With the program, Firefox browser users can dive into the virtual reality world.

Previously the program has been tested on Forefox Nightly, the pre-release version of Mozilla browser and has limited availability. The browser was designed by a personal developer and backed by Mozilla.

Mozilla is currently also reportedly developing a tool called Forefox Screenshot which is still in the testing phase. With these features the user can take a screen image stored in the cloud.

Users can save the screenshot for two weeks before it will eventually be deleted automatically. But users can still save it with manual settings in order to survive long.

Although relatively new in Mozilla, virtual reality viewer feature has actually been present in its competitors, Chrome. Google's browser had already had VR support in February 2017.

With the help of VR, Chrome users can not only use HTC Vive or Oculus Rift headsets, but also Google Cardboard and Google Daydream.
