It's already disabled.

I don't understand the outrage here. I remember chrome asking me if I want it listening all the time for "Ok Google", I thought "Obviously not" and said no, and that was the end of it.

I've been confused for the whole week about this. Everyone is saying it's enabled by default but it's disabled on my chrome 44 and I don't remember ever disabling it explicitly in settings.

It SAYS it is disabled, but do you know if it can be remotely enabled at will or if they mean it is disabled only to send your search terms and open a google.com page but still enabled for spying?

How do you know that firefox binary can't do that?

Theoretically you could build firefox from source..

But yes, it's still an issue. Does anyone have a solution to trusting GPG keys on company websites? If their website gets hacked, the key could be replaced, the source-control could be replaced and you'd never know..
