Hi, Ubuntu is disputed for some software, that some people consider to be "spyware". However, in regards to web browsers it's most likely upstream who comes with a default start page, not Ubuntu. I suspect for a default Ubuntu install, the default browser is Firefox. The average Firefox user expects to get Firefox defaults. The default search engine is the last thing you need to worry when using Firefox.
In the address bar type about:config continue and in the search that appears after you accepted to be careful type google as you can see, Firefox's safe browsing actually is Google's safe browsing. Firefox is based upon Google services. This is what Firefox users seems to want. You could disconnect the Internet connection before starting Firefox and disable as much unwanted Firefox features as possible, before you connect to the Internet.
