More About Speech Disabler
Disables use of Chrome's old speech recognition API by removing the 'x-webkit-speech' attribute from <input> elements. Input elements will continue to function as usual, just with no speech recognition capability (the x-webkit-speech API is deprecated anyway, and will be removed in the next major Chrome release). Speech recognition via x-webkit-speech can be re-enabled by clicking the icon in the address bar. The x-webkit-speech API can potentially be used to capture audio without user knowledge (even if the microphone is disabled in Chrome settings), as detailed at http://blog.guya.net/2014/04/07/to-listen-without-consent-abusing-the-html5-speech/
