Mozilla, the web developer best known for developing the Firefox browser, announced in a blog post dated November 30 that it has acquired Active Replica, an immersive experience developer.

This move means that Mozilla has stepped foot into the Web3 and metaverse development space, joining other legacy Internet platforms. Active Replica will help create virtual events by joining Mozilla’s Creator Hubs platform.

According to an official announcement published on Hubs, Mozilla believes that both companies will benefit from each other, either through the development capacity of one or the scale of the other.

“Together, we see this as a key opportunity to bring even more innovation and creativity to Hubs than we could alone,” Mozilla’s Imo Udom wrote in a blog post. “We will benefit from their unique expertise and ability to create incredible experiences that help organizations use virtual spaces for impact. They will benefit from our scale, our talent, and our ability to help bring their innovations to market faster,” he added. . .

Active Replica had already worked with Mozilla earlier this year when Mozilla was hosting its multi-day arts and technology festival, Mozfest.

Mozilla believes the acquisition is important for accelerating in-demand work, incorporating enhancements, custom enrollment levels, and adding new features to the Hubs engine.

“Together, we see this as a key opportunity to bring even more innovation and creativity to Hubs than we could alone,” Mozilla’s announcement read.

Active Replica reiterated that it will continue to work with its existing partners and that the Mozilla acquisition will help it with its long-term goals.

Mozilla also acquired a machine learning developer, Pulse, the next day, showing us the way Mozilla is going when it comes to the future of the Internet.

Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta said it is moving forward with its metaverse plans even after heavy monetary losses at its metaverse development division.

As we move closer to the days of digital reality, an increase in activity will lead to an increase in the possibilities for exploitation, and the need for policies governing the metaverse will be necessary.

Global policymakers such as the World Economic Forum have begun to ponder a universal metaverse policy, which currently does not exist.
