Do people using Ubuntu not also use web browsers? Not always. I have some Ubuntu VMs in which the web browsers are prevented from talking to the internet. I use these for secure development and testing of projects that really need to be secret. I do, however, have to allow the system to talk to Canonical servers if I want to have security patches and other software updates. This puts me in the position of having to choose between privacy on my desktop and an OS that doesn't conspire with its vendor and 3rd parties to undermine it. I will not be installing another Canonical OS as far as is practical. Unity sucked anyway.
