I read about it last week...

I don't think it is a good idea, but it doesn't concern me much as I have been on chromium for months

[crlang13]

Interesting, but not a huge concern.

Any reason why they've changed to Yahoo?

[Revolutionary101]

I wish it had a bit more art put into it but I don't think it was a good idea to switch from Google to Yahoo.

Canonical is trying to get a little more money in their pockets is all. It really doesn't matter which engine they choose, in the end it's you the user that gets to decide.

Here is a short article about the changes from Ubuntu. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-January/030065.html

I prefer google.

I have no problem with what Canonical want to do here, but...


Google FTW!

I used Bing (which is Yahoo search) for a few days but it feels too simple and they always miss stuff that I could find with Google.
Not that I like Google, I think they are too big now...

I kinda don't care about this since I always change my browser to an uncommon search engine, anyways.

Bing was MSN search originally they may use yahoo but it is still a MS page

Well, I'll change that immediately after install. Yahoo is crap and always has been, but it's not that hard to change your startup page, nor your search engines.
