Google is working hard to break the Guinness world record for creepiest corporation out there.

By the way. Is any blackhat out there still using Chrome? If you are, then you're begging for penalties. I've been saying this for ages.

Yeah, which browser you guys use for Internet Marketing? Would love to hear your opinions.
 
How could they turn on a mic that has an on/off button?
 
they probably loved me shouting at my dog the other day telling it to stop eating its f*cking feet!!!!

then a foot fetish ad came up on adsense..... (jokes)
 
This is why we need devices (most likely PCs) with no built in mic. So we can just buy an external mic with an on/off button.
 
I could have sworn I read a similar article last year about this. I wouldn't describe myself as a black hat, but I still use Chrome, although I've been looking to move away from it for some time now as the browser is abysmal these days.

They can use webcam's mic.
Open up Cable STB box and see if that have a mic in it.
 
I speak Bosnian, we hardly understand each other when we are talking, and to be afraid Google?

No thanks.

I hope they hear me releasing weird sounds every night when I mastrubate.

Cheers

Creat a new entry (string) there by right clicking and name it: general.useragent.override

and the in value copy any string from searching google about chrome useragent list.
 
i just installed 'User Agent Switcher' for FF and it didn't work, so this tweak probably won't help very much.

the site that will only accept chrome is powtoons.com
even tho it's supposed to work with ff!
