Newtab.club

Newtab.club is a low-quality search engine that may be set as your Web browser's default homepage and new tab page even though you have never heard of it before. This strange thing might happen because of the Newtab.club page relies on browser hijackers to bring users to it, as well as boost the amount of traffic that goes through Newtab.club artificially. This trick is not a new one, and many other low-quality search engines already rely on browser hijackers to improve their popularity, and maybe to convince some users to rely on their search services in the long run.

The good news is that while Newtab.club may appear in your Web browser automatically, neither the website nor the software that introduced it to your Web browser are classified as unsafe. The Newtab.club page is nothing more than a simple search engine, which also includes quick links to popular Web destinations like Facebook, Twitter, AliExpress, Amazon, and others. Usually, search engines promoted with the help of browser hijackers tend to use the services of a more popular search engine or a custom algorithm that may not be that reliable. The authors of Newtab.club have tried to take a unique approach by allowing the user to switch among various search engines via a quick menu found at the left side of the search bar. However, research showed that only the Google search feature works at the moment, and any attempts to use the other search engines included there will not yield any results.

Although the Newtab.club website and the browser hijacker associated with it are not unsafe, they can be classified as unwanted and annoying certainly. That's why it is in your best interest to get rid of both of them by uninstalling the Web browser extension tied to the browser hijacker immediately. If this does not work, then the swiftest solution is to run an anti-malware scanner since this computer security software specializes in removing not just high-level cyber threats, but low-level troublemakers like browser hijackers as well.
