Serial API

[arkhaiel]

Hi, for educational purpose I need to be able to communicate with a micro:bit card through serial port.
I don't understand why I can't find any "serial api" related option in the flags, did I do something wrong, or is there any problem with the Serial API on Brave ?

Thanks, cheers from France !

@mathieunicolas it has been disabled by default for privacy reasons. See #13902 for more information.

You should be able to enable via brave://flags/#brave-web-serial-api (may require a browser restart after enabling)

Please let me know if that helps!

hi @bsclifton and thanks for your answer !
Looking for the option in flags is the first thing I did, but I can't find the brave-web-serial-api option. It's just not appearing.
The only one I can find is related to bluetooth (#enable-bluetooth-spp-in-serial-api).
I run Brave on Debian and my version is Version 1.56.14 Chromium: 115.0.5790.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)

What's wrong ?

Good question... curious if @fmarier would have some ideas?

The flag is brand new. It will be coming in Brave 1.58, which is currently on the Nightly channel.

I'll mark this as a duplicate of the issue for adding the flag: #24404
