Re: The google custom search - perhaps it went there by itself?
[1]: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/08/28/mozilla-extends-lucrative-deal-with-google-for-3-years/ Oli, thanks for this link. So next time I'll see some crappy microsoft search engine by default in internet explorer I will not laugh at their users anymore.

Re: The google custom search - perhaps it went there by itself?
Il 26/07/2009 03:34, Jan Claeys ha scritto: The custom search is quite annoying and intrusive. I've resorted to using the binary download. Eh, you know that you can add/remove whatever search engine you want, don't you? Jan, did you read my e-mails? It is clear to everybody that 1) we can customize firefox and 2) this is an effect of it being open source. My concerns are of a completely different nature. It seems to me that they are pushing a custom search making it look like a standard search page (even if it has an ubuntu logo). My mother (if I had not changed the start page for her) would certainly have been tricked into the thing. And wonder why on linux there are no maps or conversions. And I think that this is not acceptable in a free software distribution. At least, these are not the principles that led me to push ubuntu among people of all sort, and to help with bug reporting in my free time.

Re: The google custom search - and the invasion of the multisearch
The worst thing of it all is that whenever ubuntu touches firefox (e.g. I installed today the italian localization because when I installed karmic it was not available) it OVERWRITES MY SETTINGS WITH YOURS. I call this hammering and normally would ban the user, except that I can't yet ban ubuntu from my pc. So I wasted time to fix my own installation editing about:config, now I have to redo that. Ubuntu went way too far. Hope this will be honestly considered a bug and fixed.
