Where does Search.newtabtvsearch.com come from?
Sometimes, it is difficult to determine a program’s developer. However, in this case, Search.newtabtvsearch.com’s website states that its developer is Imali Media Ltd, a largely unknown software developer. However, this search engine is not its first release. As far as we know, this developer has also created several clone search engines in the past. The list includes Search.searchinsocial.com and a few others. Usually, this developer sets up a promotional and download website to its browser extensions. So you might get Search.newtabtvsearch.com from its dedicated website called Newtabtv.com. It downloads the extension for Firefox directly, while for Google Chrome it redirects you to the Chrome Web Store. Yes, that store features this extension, which is a pity. Hopefully, it will be removed from it soon, because, although this search engine is not malicious it is still somewhat unreliable. Furthermore, this search engine’s browser extension is known to be promoted via adware-generated advertisements and pop-ups.
How does Search.newtabtvsearch.com work?
Once Search.newtabtvsearch.com’s extension is installed it will automatically change your browser’s default search engine and new tab page to, you guessed it, Search.newtabtvsearch.com. However, this address is just a front as all of your searches will redirected to Plusnetwork.com, another search engine that features promotional links of potentially unwanted programs, such as Reimage and Messenger Plus Toolbar. Search.newtabtvsearch.com also features a toolbar located at the top of the browser window. It provides links to mostly American websites, such as Netflix, IMDB, ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, and many others. So, basically, this is what you get. You will still have to register on some websites and, in truth this extension will not provide you with any advantages. It goes without saying that Search.newtabtvsearch.com will also use browser cookies to gather non-personally identifiable information about you for administrative, marketing, and advertising purposes. And rest assured, there will be no shortage of promotional links on this search engine.
