FYI: this build was pulled and fixed one will go live tomorrow. In the meantime one can use Intel version through Rosetta or manually give Bluetooth permission to native Chrome ( https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/83557143 https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/83557143 ).

  Or take this moment of reflection to switch to Firefox and stop supporting a monopolized web!

    You could say the same thing about Linux. Standardization is helpful - there are so many companies with an interest in chromium it’s not just a google project anymore it is a huge community project.

  Why does Chrome need Bluetooth? Gross...
  - sagz 6y ago
    For Google Cast most likely. Local discovery of Cast recipients. Casting to your TV etc is a popular feature

      But that's most likely on your local network. No need to use Bluetooth for this, when you have simple local UDP multicast. Also: Using Bluetooth for discovery of your units suck. I live in an area with lots of houses close by each other, and I see at least 3 Apple TV's in my iPhone's AirPlay menu which are not on my network, and there's no way for me to get rid of them. Apple, Google and friends: Stop. Trying. So. Hard! We're all on the same network. It's OK. No need to look further.

        But why should I have to? Why should I look outside my network when attempting to connect to my devices? It's the P2P AirPlay design which needs a justification, not me wanting to get it disabled.

    For web bluetooth, I presume. https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/web-bluetooth/ https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/web-bluetooth/

      the real question is why can't it work without the permission?
