Article title: UbuntuLinux uses Yahoo as the default search engine. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
On July 6, January 28, according to foreign media reports, according to RickSpencer of Canonical company, the Ubuntu operating system will undergo a small change from the launch of the LucidLynx version. Firefox, the default browser of this operating system, will now use Yahoo as its default search provider. However, this does not mean that Ubuntu users must stick to it. Of course, users can change back to Google search engines or other search engines they like.
Canonical announced the change after a revenue share agreement with Yahoo. This agreement will bring additional revenue to Canonical companies that are proud to provide free software. The following is a statement issued by Rick about the transaction.
He said that I implemented this change because Canonical negotiated an income sharing agreement with Yahoo. This revenue will help Canonical provide developers and resources to continue open development of Ubuntu and Ubuntu platforms. This change will help provide these resources and continue to respect our users' selection of Firefox's default search engine.
This is the key to the problem. It is important for Ubuntu to continue to become a successful free operating system. This opportunity provides Canonical with the ability to continue providing users with the features they need without worrying about funding issues. This seems to be a small cost for your favorite Linux system. If the user understands the technology and knows that the Linux system is allowed, they will not have any problems if they change the search engine to another search engine. It is ironic that Yahoo will soon adopt Microsoft's Bing search engine, and Microsoft will pay for users using non-Windows operating systems.
