"runs direcly on the browser without the need for additional plugins using WebGL and WebVR."

WebGL isn't a plugin, is it!?

I believe they meant "runs directly on the browser without the need for additional plugins by using WebGL and WebVR".

Ah, got it. Human languages are so ambiguous. "One morning I shot an elephant in my pyjamas. How he got in there I do not know"

What are the plugins using WebGL and WebVR? I never heard of such plugins.

It means it doesn't need plugins because it's using WebGL and WebVR, which are baked into the browser.

No, it's built into web browsers. Same with WebVR.
