Hmm, that's a valid point. I just have the idea of Linux distributions as being completely free and non-profit oriented. Also I'm used to the OS having no ads by itself, only on webpages. Guess I overreacted.

Not the same thing. Firefox doesn't send my local searches to Google. What Ubuntu does is a privacy breach.
