I avoid anything Google if I can.
Bought a new HP printer & it downloaded Google Chrome in a tool bar. I turned the bar off but its probably lurking.

I avoid anything Google if I can. So do I. Most of it is way overly complicated and difficult to use anyway. It also seems to install a bunch of other unwanted junk on your system.

I say have fun with it. Google search random things like like Ukranian amputee knitting fetish, shortbread recipes, lizard people on the Potomac, and Super Mario Bros. while you have NPR playing over the radio near your microphone.

RE :
Any site operator that chooses to adopt Chromes speech recognition ability and buy a $5 HTTPS security certificate will have the ability to hack visitors microphones. Typically when a user visits a site, they have to manually allow voice recognition, after which Chrome will display a visual indicator telling users the function is live.
What users wont see is the secret window sites can immediately open up after voice recognition is activated, which stays open and under the control of the site even after the user manually disables the function, thanks to bugs in the search engines programming. “ Dont allow voice recognition.

But have they test that with Chrome 32.0.1700.76 m, which just came out a few weeks ago? That vulnerability test may not be valid if the bug has been fixed with Chrome 32.x versions.

That is the same reason why I sing along with the radio in my car (badly, and I don’t even have to try). I expect that some day I’ll be approached by an NSA analyst and be asked, for the love of God, please stop. Three agents have asked to be reassigned and a fourth is in therapy. ;-)

Here’s a clue - stay away from anything Google makes. Not too hard to figure out.

sometimes talking to myself is the only intelligent conversation I can have.
“Shut up!”
“No! You shut up!”
“I hate liberals!”
“Me, too!”
“Good! Let’s be friends.”
