Gawd. Unity, and now this garbage. Should be interesting to see how Mint does...

  Mint user here. Mint used to set Firefox's default search engine a customized (read: craptastic) version of Google that's designed to rake in the ad revenue. I wouldn't have a problem with it if it wasn't utterly useless and ugly as sin. (It looked like the Google site search for webmasters.) Now the default search engine is DuckDuckGo. I have no idea if they have a revshare agreement with them.

    Customized how? I have never seen a customized Google search results page. Are you referring to the default home page?

    I hear you: it sucked. But no matter how much a default setting might suck, it is still a "setting", as in, it can be changed. Unity got Canonical started down a very slippery slope. I can't imagine they're dog-fooding this crap.

  Or use Lubuntu.

    Yeah, Lubuntu looks promising. I'm very happy with Mint's Debian edition, but I'll have to set up a box with Lub. Ubuntu server is still excellent.
