I must say, having forgot to make a donation to Canonical the last time I updated my laptop (my bad!) I don't mind this so much.

Depending on what language I am coding in I either have IntelliJ mostly full screen, or I have emacs and a few term windows open that cover most of the screen.

Question: does anyone know if they ads will be visible in these work modes?

I think I can answer my own question: it looks like only the Unity Launcher and some shopping views are affected.

I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon and I am glad Canonical will get a little cut.
