Ubuntu backed out of the Amazon search deal after community pressure: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/01/ubuntu-online-search-feature-disabled-16-04 https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/01/ubuntu-online-search-fea... But you're right, if they pull another trick like this in the future, I'm switching to a different distribution. I think the comparison with Google is still way off, by the way.
