It's /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop, so...
application://ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop is in Unity's favourites
by default
and the chain is
unity-webapps-service -> webapp-container -> webbrowser-app
I heard that we need to keep this, so if it is confirmed that Oxide, the
web browser and the Unity webapps are to be removed, then we will need
to provide this in another way. The desktop team will do that. (An
initial implementation might just be opening a new tab in Firefox.)

Title:
Remove Oxide, webbrowser-app and the Unity webapps
Status in libunity-webapps package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in oxide-qt package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
These projects are discontinued, unsupported and should be removed.
I haven't done any analysis of the deps or rdeps to find out if there
is more to cull, or if there is some untangling to do.
I know of two tasks other than removing packages -
Unity ships an Amazon launcher in its preset favourites which
launches a binary from unity-webapps-service. That should be removed.
We need to keep providing the Amazon launcher by default (in GNOME
Shell) - it should be reimplemented and added to Shell by default.
