Is Magic list safe?
Magic list replaces your new-tab page and sends every search you type to rsrc-withus.com with fixed affiliate tags.
The extension overrides Chrome's new-tab page with its own page that includes a search box. When you submit a query, it redirects you to rsrc-withus.com/results.aspx, appending your search term along with hardcoded partner/affiliate parameters (gd=RD1003639, searchsource=69). The search destination is not configurable and the new-tab page does not disclose that searches are routed through this third-party monetization domain.

| Field | Value | Why it matters | |
|---|---|---|---|
Search box text | weather tomorrow (illustrative) | This is what you typed into the new-tab search form. | |
Results destination | rsrc-withus.com/results.aspx | This determines which outside site receives the search request. | |
Partner identifier | gd=RD1003639 | This marks the request with a fixed partner code rather than a search provider you chose in the page. | |
Search source code | searchsource=69 | This adds another fixed routing value to the same search request. | |
Completed URL | https://rsrc-withus.com/results.aspx?gd=RD1003639&searchsource=69&n=1000&q=weather%20tomorrow (illustrative query) | This combines your search term with the destination and fixed routing values in one browser navigation. |
