Dear Canonical Ubuntu: I get it. We all need to earn a living. And chat widgets on web sites are mostly sales vehicles.
HOWEVER: If I browse to ubuntu.com/security and am greeted by a chat widget, chances are that I am *not* in the market for an enterprise sales chat.
Chances are that I need to know about patch availability for, say, a critical guest-to-host escape in KVM. And in this situation, gating a response behind "enterprise only" checkboxes is simply not okay.
