Wow, is there really no way to disable this? I guess I'm going back to Firefox.

  Of course there is a way to disable this, it's in the settings with all the other settings.

    Where? You can turn off voice-activated search, but that doesn't actually disable the extension.

      It requires Native Client, turn it off and it can't function regardless of your other settings.

      The extension is only used by voice search. If voice search is disabled, the extension isn't used by anything. A mountain is being made out of this molehill. If the extension was only downloaded at the time that the option was enabled by the user, nobody would care. Instead, they chose to have the extension always available and as a result people are having paranoid over-reactions.
