Do you use your Quest 2 every day?
Used to use Firefox VR but since it’s discontinued I now use Wolvic from AppLab. There’s a curved screen option in the display settings that I recommend turning on if it isn’t by default and then you can just resize the screen to whatever size you want. Another tip would be that you can install custom skyboxes like this one by simply dropping the files in the correct directory through Sidequest, works exactly the same for Wolvic and Firefox. I love reading in space :)

Igalia announces Wolvic, a new browser project
This is really interesting. Last night I was looking at FireFox Reality's repo and was pleasantly surprised to see [some newer commits][1]. Now today I see that Wolvic is [a fork of FireFox Reality][2] and that the commits were contributed from that project. I'm happy to see a private company fund new work on this front.

Firefox Reality (Firefox for VR) being spun out as “Wolvic”
The last time Firefox tried to migrate to an emerging platform (Boot to Gecko), they abandoned the project. It was forked and found success as KaiOS.
I wonder if history will repeat itself here with Wolvic. Firefox Reality was last released in 2020, and I've heard it's not good compared to the Chromium-based Oculus Browser.

[Hack] Ability to Share/Open URLs from any app in Firefox Reality instead of Oculus Browser
I was also annoyed by Firefox Reality's inability to handle intents from other applications (doesn't appear in "Open with" picker). (see issue: https://github.com/MozillaReality/FirefoxReality/issues/3924)

Playing youtube in 360 on Pico G2 4K
Now, I can't double check if it works for youtube 360 due to a current bug that is causing it to crash after a Quest 2 update.

What browser is recommended for Pico and WebXR - If it's the existing Pico 4 browser, is there any setting that need to be adjusted to function with a WebXR/threejs experience?
No setting should need to be adjusted, it should just work ootb, although the browser is using quite old open source projects afaik. I'm waiting for Wolvic support which would be amazing: https://github.com/Igalia/wolvic/issues/306
- Does the Firefox App have an extended interface in Pico 4 or will the generic version of vertical phones be seen?
