Yes I really want random websites to have access to Bluetooth
- janci 3y agoNo, they do not get access unless you allow it and explicitly selet a bluetooth device the page is allowed to connect to. The bluetooth dialog is handled entirely by the browser.

- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThey're not random websites though. They're apps that you have installed. And given permissions to. The gatekeeping/FUD/wringing-of-pewrls over this seems absurd, cruel, and most of all arbitrary to me. Insubstantial naysaying.
- scarface_74 3y agoI have never heard and end user say - “you know Electron apps are so great on the desktop, it would be really great if all apps on phones were PWAs.”
- int_19h 3y agoPWAs don't have one of the major downsides of Electron, which is bloat - you don't have to package the huge runtime yourself. That aside, sure, I'll always take a native app if I can have it. But providing native apps across all major desktop and mobile platforms is a lot of effort, especially for small businesses and hobbyists. In that case, a PWA is vastly better than nothing at all, or a native app for one particular platform that just happens to be the one you don't use.
