Network Error with webkitSpeechRecognition on Updated Microsoft Edge

[naveen9740]

Description:
After updating Microsoft Edge to the latest version (Version 134.0.3124.51 (Official build) (64-bit)),

My speech recognition project now encounters a "Network error" when using the webkitSpeechRecognition API. This issue did not occur with previous versions, where the speech recognition functioned correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:

Update Microsoft Edge to the current version (Version 134.0.3124.51 (Official build) (64-bit)).
Launch the speech recognition project that utilizes webkitSpeechRecognition.
Initiate voice input.
Observe the "Network error" message.
Expected Behavior:
The speech recognition should work as it did prior to the update, without throwing any network-related errors.

Actual Behavior:
A "Network error" is triggered immediately when attempting to use speech input, which interrupts the intended functionality.

Additional Context:

The project was running without issues before the Edge update.
No changes were made to the implementation of webkitSpeechRecognition.
Please investigate and advise on potential fixes or workarounds.

I have the same issue in Edge of the webkitSpeechRecognition API returning a network error after Edge updated to version 134.0.3124.51. Everyone that uses an extension or a website that uses the webkitSpeechRecognition has the same issue. Previous to this webkitSpeechRecognition has been working in Edge for 3 years.
