Default shortcuts route clicks through affiliate networks
Infinity New Tab ships default shortcuts for brands like Booking, Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Spotify, Walmart, Microsoft, TurboTax and Samsung, routed through affiliate/redirect networks, per the bundled shortcut list and click handler.
You click a branded shortcut that is already present on the new-tab page.
Examples in the bundled default list include Booking, Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Spotify, Walmart, Microsoft, TurboTax, and Samsung.
The extension opens the shortcut’s saved affiliate or redirect URL instead of a direct homepage URL.
That URL can send the click through an affiliate host before the final brand page loads.
| Field | Value | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|---|
Shortcut label | Amazon | This is the brand name you see on the new-tab shortcut. | |
Opened destination | https://sovrn.co/11h5wnr | This is the URL your browser is sent to when you choose the shortcut. | |
Affiliate campaign value | campid=5339103610&customid=infinity | This can associate the click with a publisher or campaign before the brand site opens. | |
Final brand URL inside a redirect | u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2F | Some redirect URLs include the brand destination as an encoded parameter. |

Across three dynamic-analysis attempts, the new-tab page loaded but the default shortcut grid did not populate; the `<newtab-topsite>` area stayed empty behind a permission modal, so no live click-through request to these affiliate hosts was captured. The confirmation rests on the bundled shortcut list and the click handler that opens each saved target.
