You are one of those that the Amazon web application gives you at Ubuntu; Εάν ναι, τότε ήρθε η ώρα να χαρείτε, καθώς το επερχόμενο λειτουργικό Ubuntu 20.04 “Focal Fossa” has finally removed the pre-installed Amazon launcher from the dock. You finally won't have to worry about your search results being 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 in surface work of Ubuntu led to massive complaints from the Ubuntu community as there was concern about user privacy.
Later, due to backlash from users of the distribution, Canonical, the developer of Ubuntu, finally disabled the spyware of Ubuntu in version 16.04 LTS, restricting the transfer of bash search data to only Canonical servers for use by third parties.
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.
