I know at least Mint does DNS and browser plugin ad injection.

Is this documented somewhere? I tried searching for a couple combinations of "linux mint dns ad injection", but couldn't find anything relevant.
I was referring to their use of OpenDNS http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=128529

And hijacking Google search on Firefox, http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=142

OpenDNS hasn't done ad pages for non-existent domains in ages. As for "hijacking" Google search, that's simply setting a different default - you can change it and nothing tries to stop you, and OS upgrades won't change it back (I believe).
Aww, really? This is the first I've heard of this.
No, not really.
