Chrome 56 quietly added Bluetooth snitch API

matt

"you have to explicitly grant the remote web app access to your Bluetooth gadgets before anything happens".... This is like complaining "Firefox (and every single other browser) sucks because they can spy on you with the webcam and getUserMedia api"... if you click the link allowing it. The big difference between this and the battery API issue was the fact that the battery API did not prompt for access.

Re: re: the API lets websites ask your browser “what Bluetooth devices can you see,”

Should we remove the webcam and webmedia API's too? they "only" require a prompt.
