Web Bluetooth is a Chrome-only API, but some sites depend on it.

https://caniuse.com/web-bluetooth lists Chrome, Edge, Opera, Samsung, UC, Baidu; which are all chromium based - but still distinct browser products. Caniuse reports the sum as 78.19% of browser usage.

I encountered that parcel lockers by Direct4.me, used by DPD in Croatia for example, also can't be wirelessly opened using a provided URL due to lack of this. (https://www.direct4.me/technology) Though there's also other ways (e.g. app or phone call) so Firefox users like me still have other options for opening the locker.
