To reiterate my perspective as the person who filed this bug: there's a mass of critical commentary elsewhere on the web, and I wanted to ensure that this translated into a polite, factual discussion in a location where Ubuntu developers can't skip over it.
The reasons I think this default is a bad thing are that it breaches an expectation of privacy, it's tasteless (commercial content when I'm not asking for it), and it's continuing to bring Ubuntu massive negative PR. Sadly, despite the criticism - from hundreds of users, from the EFF, from Richard Stallman - it seems like the decision is made and won't be changed. The whole episode leaves a sour taste in my mouth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054776 Title: Don't include remote searches in the home lens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-shopping/+bug/1054776/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
