Web XR no longer plays

This is the first version where Web XR videos from YouTube show as a black screen but there is audio. If I press the trigger button I am able to see the video controls to move forward and backwards. Web XR Video seems to be working fine from the Oculus Browser so I'm not sure what has happened with Wolvic and WebXR videos. Update: tried to delete app data, uninstall the app, then reinstall the app, then reset all settings. Same issue of XR videos not playing.

Fine! Progress is visible ).

Many thanks to the developers! Significant progress is noticeable compared to the version of the previous review. There are still some rough edges, I hope that in the end everything will be brought to shine. It doesn't make much sense to go back to the original firefox now. I have changed the rating and recommend using Wolvic . Thanks again and good luck to the developers! But I recommend them to pay attention to the correctness of working with YouTube. I had problems with caching avatars and any. Then I will add more details to the review.

Worked fine then the new update broke it

The app in general has good functions (ad blocker being a plus) unfortunately it started to crash and after deleting and reinstalling, it instantly crashes (app doesn’t load at all while trying to open) and restarting my headset is not a solution. Update: Thanks to the Dev by responding and providing an effective solution, it no longer crashes and things work as intended!

Progressively worse by the update

This is a bad upgrade, and it needs to stop! They removed the ability to center along the vertical axis. Now, when I'm weight lifting or sitting in my recliner, I can no longer use this Wolvic browser because I can't move the screen vertically, at all. my neck is hurting today from bending my neck trying to see the screen. Terrible things are happening there, and soon nobody will use this program ifnit continues. The advertised video moves the screen around and it doesn't even move now like the video. lol why? smh
