It was in one of Ubuntu's releases, 16.04 I believe? Unity included Amazon results in its search results. EDIT: 12.04. Time flies. Memory sucks.

- ericd 10y agoI'm using 16.04 right now, how does one trigger those? I've never seen them.
- pikzen 10y agoI was wrong, it was actually in the 12.04 days. Didn't remember it to be so long ago. I believe it's disabled by default in newer releases. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2840401/ubuntus-unity-8-desktop-removes-the-amazon-search-spyware.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/2840401/ubuntus-unity-8-deskt...
- aban 10y agoIt was indeed 12.04 and only affecting Unity (Canonical's Desktop Environment), not other DE's like GNOME or KDE. You should check out https://fixubuntu.com https://fixubuntu.com nonetheless, which surfaced at that time, is still up and relevant.
- ericd 10y agoAh that's good that they seem to have come to their senses.
