Re: [web-bluetooth] Is it possible to change Bluetooth device's name? (#562)

While the real Bluetooth address is not available for privacy reasons the Web Bluetooth API provides an `id` attribute which is an anonymized version of the address. In the default configuration Chromium-based browsers generate a new ID for every browsing session however if you enable `about://flags/#enable-web-bluetooth-new-permissions-backend` then the ID will be consistent between sessions. This new configuration is still being tested but should be shipped eventually.

As noted above, changing the device's advertised name is only possible if allowed by the device firmware.
