New-tab searches route through searchbookmarkplus.com
Bookmark Plus New Tab routes new-tab searches through searchbookmarkplus.com for Google and Yahoo.
It appends your typed words to a GET URL carrying affiliate channel dm6171, then navigates the tab there instead of Google or Yahoo directly.
You submit a search from the Bookmark Plus New Tab search box.
The form in newtab.html uses input q and submit button searchSubmit.
The extension opens a searchbookmarkplus.com redirect URL containing your search terms.
The Google and Yahoo provider entries both use the same dynamiclander endpoint with channel dm6171.
| Field | Value | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|---|
Your search terms | weather tomorrow | The words you typed into the new-tab search box are included in the URL sent to the redirect host. | |
Affiliate channel | dm6171 | This identifies the redirect campaign or distribution channel associated with the request. | |
Selected provider | Yahoo | Choosing Google or Yahoo still sends the search through the same redirect host before any search results page is reached. | |
Redirect URL | https://searchbookmarkplus.com/dynamiclander/?chnm=dm6171&q=weather%20tomorrow | This is the full navigation target the extension constructs after you submit the search. |

Top-site URLs sent to favicon and screenshot services
Bookmark Plus New Tab reads Chrome's top-sites shortcuts after install to build new-tab tiles.
Each top-site URL goes to Google's favicon service, and the full URL is also sent to mini.s-shot.ru for a thumbnail over HTTP.
The user installs the extension.
The extension reads top-sites URLs and uses them in favicon and screenshot image requests.
| Field | Value | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|---|
Visited page URL | https://example.com/page (illustrative) | Identifies a site from the browser's top-sites history shortcuts. | |
Browsing-history shortcut | Top site tile entry (illustrative) | Shows that the URL came from the browser's frequently visited sites list. |
