Is Nuance PowerMic safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Nuance PowerMic is medium risk. We observed that every time you navigate to any HTTP or HTTPS website, the Nuance PowerMic Web Extension's content script writes a 365-day cookie named NUSAI_CAVE_dontNotifyUser into that site's own cookie store. This occurs on every page load without a consent prompt and is not disclosed in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing. Because the cookie is placed in each visited site's origin — not the extension's own storage — any JavaScript running on that page, including third-party analytics or advertising scripts embedded by the site, can read it and determine that you have the Nuance PowerMic extension installed.
