Interesting, I'm on Brave and have never had a site request bluetooth access before, so much so that I'd never even granted Brave bluetooth access, hence why it popped up as a system notification this time around.


Doesn't Brave disable WebBluetooth by default via a flag?


Brave indeed does block WebBluetooth by default, but it can be turned on by the user using flags.

It's by no means a new feature, but the privacy concerns outlined in this post are still valid 10 years later: https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/w3c-web-bluetooth-api-privacy...
