## Description
NOTE: this is a duplicate of https://github.com/brave/brave-bro… wser/issues/3725
Any time you attempt to use voice search on Brave desktop, it displays a "no internet connection" message. This is after allowing access to your machine's microphone for both the site and Brave itself.

Always
## Brave version (brave://version info)
v0.58.16
### Reproducible on current release:

Yes, both.
### Website problems only:
- Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? Negative
- Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? Nope!
### Additional Information
Behaves the same on macOS, Windows and Linux systems.
And was fixed by hiding the microphone (which other browsers have adapted as well) in this pull request here:

Fixes https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/2690
Since the google mic… rophone doesn't work, the microphone is hidden on Firefox (possibly a user agent checks by google)
This patch will hide the microphone icon on all google regional sites, tested on `www.google.com`, `www.google.co.nz`, `www.google.com.au`, `www.google.co.uk`, `www.google.de` This patch works both in desktop and mobile versions of google.
- [x] Main home page, microphone hidden
- [x] When google searching, microphone hidden
The reason this is still an “issue” and is not “fixed” is due to the fact that the way Google has their API for this feature set up essentially (paraphrasing here) requires that your data be sent through Google, which is something we actively try to prevent.
Lastly, the fact that the icon is showing at all appears to be a regression on our end — I’ve opened the following issue on our Github to not display the icon:

### Description
The microphone icon on Google.com is showing again after being … hidden previously via:
