Are you one of those who give you the Amazon web application on Ubuntu? If so, then it's time to rejoice, as the upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal Fossa" has finally removed Amazon's pre-installed launcher from the dock. Finally you should not worry about the search results collected by Amazon.
The web application was first added to Ubuntu 12.10, and has since received highly critical reviews from distribution users for Amazon ads and product listings in bash search results.
The integration of search results by Amazon on the Ubuntu desktop has led to massive complaints from the Ubuntu community as there has been concern about protecting users' privacy.
Later, due to a response from distribution users, Canonical, the Ubuntu developer, finally disabled Ubuntu Spyware in version 16.04 LTS, restricting the transfer of search data to bash only on Canonical servers for third-party use. .
But users continued to be unhappy as their dock continued to have the Amazon launcher pre-installed.
But, like he says Fossbytes recent package updates during the development of "Focal" reveal that the dependence of the Ubuntu distribution with web-launchers has stopped completely.
Can this be seen as the end of Canonical's deal with Amazon? No one knows at this time, as nothing has been officially announced by the company.
Whatever the reason, the unwanted Amazon icon will disappear in the upcoming distribution issue, which will greatly please the most popular distribution community.
