content: I do think this whole thing is madly overblown. They left in a NaCl module with permission to access only the microphone; though it was a binary blob, the open source components of the browser included the sandbox which prevented it from having full access to the system. So a rational person (and particularly anyone with a background in software development) has to ask oneself: what is the likelihood that the Chromium project retained this binary blob maliciously (and to what end would that be, exactly?), as opposed to mistakenly or out of laziness? Do you really think Google wants to spy on your audio without your consent?
