Canonical has wisely decided to make Amazon product results opt-in in Unity 8. But were they all that big of a deal in the first place?
Personally, I didn’t have a big problem with either thing since I understand the need for both companies to generate some kind of income. Such features, if you want to call them that, don’t bother me as long as the user has a way of easily turning them off if he or she doesn’t want them. Unfortunately, Canonical really didn’t include an easy way to to do that with the Amazon product results in Unity.
Yes, you can turn them off as noted in the other article from OMG! Ubuntu! that I’ve included below but it’s not necessarily an easy or intuitive thing for most users. And to me that was really the problem with how Canonical handled them initially.
