It doesn't work outside the settings page.

Only works if the extension home page is open in a tab, otherwise it doesn't work. The idea is to use handsfree voice without having any other tabs open. Since Google removed handsfree a long time ago, I've been looking for something that I can say "Hey Google" while Chrome for PC is open, and using voice to navigate the internet WITHOUT any extension tabs open, and as yet, there is NOTHING available and I have to use the mic icon every time.
