The problem was first reported in late May when a bug was placed in the Debian bug tracker.
Howard is not included in the list of extensions seen at chrome://extensions/.
The extension is assumed to locally find out the OK Google phrase by transmitting only search phrases to Google.
However, there is no simple way to ascertain this, as no source code is available.
Google gave justifications for the behavior regarding a bug placed in the Chromium bug tracker.
Some are automatically downloaded when the internet tool is run built in, while others are in-built.
Enabled in this context does not mean loaded or listening; it just means not disabled.
Unless the OK Google feature is turned on, the extension is not really active.
Check the OK Google option and the extension can load.
But, it does not simply load once and then stay loaded.
It loads when you turn it on, but unloads a few seconds later.
Move away from these pages and a few seconds later, the extension unloads again.
It does not look like there is any serious issue for Chrome users.
The situation is a little more complicated for Chromium.
Today, Google developers announced that they would make a change to Chromium.
Starting today, Chromium 45 builds will not download the module by default.
