Request for automatic-connection for various things in line with other Chromium based browsers

Hi,

We kindly ask for automatic-connection for “bluez”, “joystick”, “removable-media” and “system-packages-doc” for vivaldi, similarly to the request Brave made and was granted previously

In addition Chromium (on which Vivaldi is based) has all of these auto connects.

For more clarity on each one

  • bluez: so that wireless periperals work out of the box
  • joystick: We have a built in Vivaldi game vivaldi://game (though it would obviously also be useful for other online games as well)
  • removable-media: to allow people to save their downloads on external hard drives
  • system-packages-doc: To open and view the host’s HTML system documentation.

It is worth noting that we have two futher outstanding automatic-connection requests and perhaps it might be worth dealing with all of them at the same time

In summary for the full list of auto-connects we are requesting (in line with other browsers) are: bluez, dot-local-share-applications, dot-local-share-icons, hardware-observe, joystick, removable-media, system-packages-doc, u2f-devices

This is our snapcraft.yaml

Thank you,

Ruarí from Team Vivaldi

similarly to the related brave topics 1 and 2, +1 for auto-connecting bluez, joystick, removable-media and system-packages-doc for vivaldi

+1 also from me for granting vivaldi auto-connection ot bluez, joystick, removable-media and system-packages-doc as those makes sense for the expected functionality and precedents (brave) exists.

+2 votes for, 0 votes against, granting auto-connect of interfaces bluez, joystick, removable-media and system-packages-doc to snap vivaldi. The publisher is verified. This is now live.
