If Apple won't allow an API onto Safari because it competes with native apps, then why should Firefox bother to implement it? Just because something moves forward in standards, does not mean Apple will ever implement it in their browse

Are you talking about Google or Apple? Because Apple is being sued by the DOJ for monopolistic and anticompetitive behavior. There are numerous examples of it spelled out in the lawsuit: https://www.justice.gov/archives&#x2F

Complexity for who? The user having to click "Yes I want to enable Web Bluetooth for this website"? Or for the developers? Because if it's for the developers, it's literally their job to make complex things simple for us

And I pointed out that they don't help the open web, they stifle innovation of the web by abusing their power for profit. Which I think is far worse than anything you think Google is trying to do. I'm not giving Google a free pass

Letting my users have access to the Web Bluetooth API is not making Google somehow take control of the web. If Apple won't implement it, and they won't allow other browsers on their platform, that's plainly an abusive busines

It absolutely is a mirage. It's like those Ferrari kit cars where you take a Ford or whatever car frame and remove the outer shell and put a Ferrari shell on top of it. It's not a Ferrari, it only looks like a Ferrari. The browser

You have to explicitly allow all of those features to work in a webpage, they aren't on by default, so I'm not sure what you're worrying about.

Which browser engine are you getting on iOS when you install Firefox? If you answered Firefox, you are WRONG. You get Safari , because Apple forces all browsers on iOS to use their own crippled browser engine. Apple also is part of the W3C
