Web bluetooth in does not work in opera GX on a mac even when I enable the flag. It works fine in chrome , brave and edge so I expect it to work in opera GX because they all use chromium. Web bluetooth allows you to use specific controllers for games and is use full for opera GX.

You can test it on:
https://ergometer-space.org/
After opening the website press on the connect to ergometer button. Expected an dialog where you can choose a ble device. But I get:
Can not connect to the ergometer due to an internal error:Scan error:NotFoundError: Web Bluetooth API globally disabled.

@tijmenvangulik I guess Opera just don't support it yet?

I suspect this, but in that case the browser should say it is not supported and not say that the feature is hidden behind a flag and I should enable this. It shouldn't be too difficult for the developers to make it work because it is a build in feature of chromium.

@tijmenvangulik That is a Chromium flag and those flags may or may not work in Opera.

Guess this is a known issue and bug DNA-73457. Guess it's broken in Opera.
