Investigate WebXR with WebKit
WebKit has had WebXR in the source tree for some time now thanks to work from Igalia, and it looks like their OpenXR backend is using XR_MNDX_egl_enable for doing EGL-backed sessions, which is only available in Monado and SteamVR Linux. A long time ago I tried getting WebXR working on WebKit in Windows, not knowing about this detail, but I never actually tried to get it working on Linux. Might be worth looking into.
Initially I did try to get WPE Webkit with the OpenXR backend working, but ran into some issue. Don't remember the specifics, but it was to the effect that compiling/launching with the flags needed for WebXR caused rendering/stability issues with any WebGL context. At the time it felt that Gecko and Chromium were more fruitful to pursue.
Also, XR_MNDX_egl_enable is only supported by the Monado runtime, not by SteamVR as far as I know.
hello, it seems the patch has not been compatible with the newest chromium version would u please help update?

@wurcyc This issue is for WebKit, not the Chromium patch. Either way, the patch hasn't been updated in a long time, so it's not surprising that it no longer cleanly applies. There is a newer version of the patch for Chromium 130 made by rcelyte, who also did the majority of the work on the original patch. Which you can find here: https://github.com/rcelyte/webxr-linux/tree/chromium.
@wurcyc @mrxz Small disclaimer about that - Chromium added some new overlay logic which my patch only has stubs for, so permission prompts and whatnot will likely be invisible while still interactable.
