Whenever I tried to use it on my school chromebook it kept on redirecting to myaccount.google.com. Why?

Vocês deveriam ser mais criativos na hora de inventar cortina de fumaça pra tortura e perseguição, que é exatamente o que significa essa extensão! Pobres até na criação de armas!

I didn't like it because there is no option to deactivate the constant listening. I am not comfortable with this extension being constantly listening to sounds around me. I would rather activate it manually when someone is braodcasting an url.

I really love this concept. I am just wondering if you can put an option for the mic stay off and the user manually click for receiving as needed...
