Yes, but I don't know what the mic icon is. Does it just call a function? Is it a Chrome-provided icon that is always on top? Can the menu that is shown be edited by the website?
I keep managing to navigate backwards to an empty tab without wanting to.
I tried to write a Chrome extension for typing text on websites recently. But I never got it to select the correct text blocks, especially on sites with table layouts like HN.
According to [1] photovoltaic energy might be competitive in Germany by 2012/2013 in regions with a lot of sunshine and by 2016 "in regions with less intensive sunshine." (I'm not sure whether "less intensive" means average.) These numbers assume consumer prices and no subsidies. For industry users competitiveness is expected by 2019.
