6Foot2 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Link: Google removes 'OK Google' voice search from Chrome | VentureBeat | Dev | by Emil Protalinski ...The removal of this feature only affects the desktop version of Chrome: Windows, Mac, and Linux users no longer have the ability to use the “OK Google” voice action. Users of Chrome for mobile, as well as Chromebooks, will still be able to say “OK Google” and start searching. Furthermore, we want to emphasize that this doesn’t mean voice search in Chrome for desktop is going away. You can still access the functionality on the New Tab Page and on any Google.com page — you’ll just have to click on the mic icon first...
comrade Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Is this anything to do with privacy concerns? If your laptop was always listening to you to enable OK Google to work.
Arthur Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Is this anything to do with privacy concerns? It's because hardly anyone used the feature. http://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology/2015/10/chrome-dumping-ok-google-eavesdropping-extension-because-nobody-actually-uses-it/
