Is Newtabtvds safe?

Low risk

Newtabtvds replaces the default search provider with search.newtabtv.com over plain HTTP.

The extension sets search.newtabtv.com as the default search engine, so every address-bar search term is sent to the vendor with a fixed partner id. It also stores the last typed query, base64-encoded, in a cookie on newtabtv.com.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Newtabtvds contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
