Reading keystrokes from a nearby keyboard using the gyroscope http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fac/traynor/papers/traynor-ccs11.pd...

Speech Recognition using the gyroscope http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-08/15/gyroscope-lis...

Not just a problem with webpages, apps that don't have access to your mic do have access to your gyroscope

should not be possible to read any phone sensors without permission!
