Not again!
Yes, it was not really ok to add the amazon and online search. I think,
even Canonical knows in the meantime that everybody else in the community
dislikes that.
But please, there is the switch to turn it off even in the GUI of the
privacy settings, so this is not really a problem!
On the other hand, the rookie computer user mostly cannot even distinguish
between the url location field and the google search in the browser (that's
why browsers and google managed both to implement both functions). So I do
see a logic in the idea of Canonical to incorporate everything into the
dash because the rookie user will expect to find everything from there.

Otherwise it would be Google or Microsoft collecting your data - or -
mostly ignored: Your internet provider.
