Mozilla Hubs is a virtual collaboration platform that runs in a web browser on desktops, tablets and mobile devices. It can support wireless standalone VR headsets. Desktop VR setups like the Oculus Rift are supported via a WebVR compatible browser (e.g. Firefox). See list of supported devices.
Simple 3D spaces can be selected from an initial range, or created in a tool called Spoke. Other users can be invited to join in the room using a shared URL. The room can have 3D objects, media and video screen facilities, etc.

Avatars are very simple and can be selected from a set provided. Default names are assigned to users unless the user changes that (saved locally on each browser used).
Another cartoon style virtual world with cartoon avatars (if you count missing legs) is coming soon if you are a Facebook user… (still there?)…
