    Use Google voice search without the privacy issues of windows 10


    First you need to download the google chrome program
    once loaded, on the top right hand side you will see three bars
    click on those bars.

    Scroll down to MORE TOOLS then click on EXTENSIONS.

    Then at the bottom click on MORE EXTENTIONS.

    Then search for GOONOW install that. Your now finished.

    In the search bar you will see a microphone icon,when you want to
    use the voice search facility just click on the microphone icon.


    There's another way is to download the google app if you don't like chrome from
    the windows 10 app store.

    If you have disabled the microphone permissions in the settings section
    then just type in the word MICROPHONE in the search the web and windows
    box.

    Goto MICROPHONE PRIVACY settings and turn on let apps use my microphone
    ,and then “only” the google search.

    Thanks a lot! This sounds really cool, I don't really use the voice search feature in my phone a lot, but I might start giving it a try once I install Windows 10. It sounds a bit more practical. By the way, what do you mean with privacy issues?
