[Bug 402767] Re: multisearch add on blocks the functionality of firefox location bar

[Cam Cope]

I would like to register my extreme disapproval of what happened here.
Any change that puts revenue and/or collection of user data BEFORE functionality is UNACCEPTABLE.
Any new collection of user data without an EXPLICIT DISCLAIMER is UNETHICAL.

What distinguishes Ubuntu from many of the other distributions is its
vibrant community. Don't alienate us, or you'll quickly find that your
userbase will disappear. I would like to believe that this was just a
mistake, that you guys were just doing what you thought was best. You
have to remember that your goal is to make your users happy, which means
you can't just make a quick buck. If you're going to generate some more
revenue, fine, just don't break my existing functionality. I'd be
totally cool with a slightly modified search page from the search box
and a new default home page. Lastly, if you don't know what will be
broken, BE TRANSPARENT so people know what's up. F/OSS means people have
certain expectations, such as being able to watch the development
process and provide input on design decisions.
