api.Bluetooth - chromium is not considered #29674

Description

@acseka360

What type of issue is this?

Missing compatibility data

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

chromium should be added, or considered in the web client the same as chrome

currently chromium is not a known browser to the meshtastic web client, and cannot use bluetooth connections

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet)

What did you expect to see?

the open source version of chrome: chromium is not considered chrome and gets a "Web Bluetooth not supported. This connection type requires Web Bluetooth. Please use a supported browser, like Chrome or Edge." message, where i would expect it to work just like chrome does

Did you test this? If so, how?

i launched chromium 147 from my ubuntu 24.04 running laptop and went to the web clients address hosted by meshtastic
