Web bluetooth

[MinecraftPro10]

Please web bluetooth should be added as it's one of the reasons i'm not fully switching to Firefox. It's a great browser and i'd like to switch completely to it because it's much more clean and functional, but Web bluetooth is holding me back. I use it to connect to other bluetooth devices from websites, during coding. Please implement it.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I forget where, but a dev said is won't be added due to the security implications

I think that's an inappropriate consideration because it needs your permission and it is also only a local thing, you can't be hacked or anything like that. Also, you could turn it off if you don't trust it or feel unsafe and as I said I use it in my hobby, during coding. When I want to use it I need to switch to Google Chrome and it's very annoying, if it does not get implemented I'll switch completely back to Google Chrome.

I need the WebBluetooth-API to gain access to my bluetooth adapters for my PlayStation 1 & 2 and GameCube to connect wireless controller such as Nintendo Switch Pro Controller or DualShock 4 Controller to configure these adapters and install OTA updates on these. I must use Google Chrome for that, because Firefox hasn't this feature. Please implement it Mozilla and Firefox get one more point.

same, I develop on Linux, mobile webapps and need BT to print , I cannot test on FF , need to install Chrome or another browser !

I'm forced to use Chrome when programming with https://code.pybricks.com/
The tool relies on Web Bluetooth to connect to Lego Hubs.
It should not be the case, Firefox should be the 1st choice for developers & builders!

Cheers!

I would also like to see Web-Bluetooth brought back

It is fantastic that we can develop simple web pages to perform the configuration of BLE devices.  I have used it extensively on chrome to configure a range of sensors.  The BLE is only active for a few minutes.  I don't care how much sand-boxing is enabled as long as the page can communicate with the device, to get and set values

Web Bluetooth means no special phone/tablet/pc apps are required to configure a device.  The user always gets the correct version of the configuration app.  When they are finished, there is nothing left behind.

So while I am switching to Firefox, I and still recommending chrome
