Comment 97 for bug 1054776

Regrettably, for me this is potentially a deal-breaker, which is sad given that I've been an Ubuntu user and supporter for many years. I could of course trivially remove this feature, but what this indicates to me is the overall direction in which Canonical is taking things, and it's a direction which I'd find difficult to endorse either for personal or business uses. The privacy issue is something of significantly greater magnitude than previous heated debates about the position of close buttons or the location of the Unity launcher.

I have from time to time purchased books on Amazon, but it's both unnecessary and not useful for me to be performing an Amazon search every time I look for files or documents using the super key or dash button. I'm aware of the key shortcuts, but it's the idea that the default behavior is one which potentially compromises privacy and provides superfluous information which is my primary concern.
