Easy Compromise For Ubuntu
In the latest builds of the testing version of the next version of Ubuntu, the Ubuntu team has made a slight misstep by making the Google search bar default to a custom Ubuntu start page. As far as I’m concerned, Ubuntu adding its own custom search to default search bar from ad revenue is perfectly acceptable. In fact, if I were to make my own distro, I would likely do something similar. The only real problem is that they are replacing Google with their own custom search. Even if it is based on Google, it should clearly be branded as Ubuntu search, with a “clean” Google still available. Just make it easier to opt-out, that’s all that’s needed, though I would prefer they go even further and offer search options on first run with the Ubuntu search as the default.
