They say "web" in the title, but that seems to mean browsers that support "web bluetooth" API.

Is that one of those Chrome-only API's? If so, it's not really "web" at all.




It's got W3C backing, but it's one of those things (like web MIDI) that only Chrome has bothered to implement. The APIs aren't intended to be proprietary to just Chrome.

A community group doesn't mean W3C is backing it.

It's kind of weird that we seem to be going down the path of Google/Chrome = Web. We already know how this story ends.
