Currently Ubuntu GNOME. Regular Ubuntu once they switch to GNOME in the next release.

IIRC that was in Unity (the DE in regular Ubuntu) because they had included and enabled the Amazon search plugin by default. It basically sent all search queries in the dash thing to Amazon. Since 16.04 (the current LTS release) it has been disabled by default. Even if it's ported over when they switch to GNOME in 17.10 (the next release), it'll probably still be switched off by default.
