- tonylampada 13y agoHi, author here. No. Fortunately, they don't make Ask toolbar for Ubuntu. ;-) My point is Amazon is using deceptive practices to push Amazon Prime - which are actually very similar to to the strategy employed by crapware like the Ask toolbar. You just don't expect that when you're making a purchase over amazon. Well at least I never would, until now. Are you really telling me you think it's okay for Amazon to do that - and there's no reason to complain here?
- BrandonSmith 13y agoThis is not a new practice for Amazon. This happened to my Significant Other during holiday shopping five years back. Utterly confused when we saw it on the bill. Bill searching, etc. My SO remembered seeing something, but thought it was just a one month trial, not signing up for a subscription. A bit of shame for feeling sucked in. The only difference between our stories is that upon doing the research, we decided that Prime was a good fit for our Amazon purchasing patterns and haven't canceled yet.
