Chrome a new bug that Google knows about

We know about webcams, but did you know that if you use a microphone with Chrome and change sites it is very possible the mic is still on. You need to close Chrome to stop the recording.

Not sure IF this applies to Dragon or not ?

What also caught my attention, is that Google analyses what was said, before sending it back what ever site is listening - ordinary or compromised and malicious !

Huh, good thing I set Dragon to not allow any site to use my Camera or Microphone… I don’t even have a camera set up and my microphone is disabled most of the time (flipped up mutes it)

But either way it’s an issue Google should have fixed within 4 months… I mean really, come on.
