    Once again Google is becoming more of a Big Brother dictator - today it disabled my Dragon Naturally Speaking extension - which I PAID for AND which I've been using w/o any problem for a month - they did so in the name of "security" thinking I , an expert user, am an idiot and do not know how to protect my computers from malware. They did not provide an option to turn it back on - except - now this is a riot - I can ask the giant corp Nuance to contact Google and for a small fee they will allow this extension, they also suggested I use the unstable Dev or Canary channel. Chrome help form as of now has had 9, 800 angry posts on this development. what to do. Nuance said it was looking into it fore their next version but does not know when that will be.:mad:
    ideas?

    Hi muruga, I don't use /know Dragon Naturally Speaking, but have you been to their web site for help?
    Is Nuance the developer of Dragon?
    Does Dragon work if you use another Browser? Neil.

    On the bright side, I've been using Chrome Dev since day one and there's nothing unstable about it. Never had a single problem.

    I did as you suggested they are aware of the situation - thing is Chrome disabled 1000's of legit extensions just because it is not in their store so it is not just with DNS.
