Newpage16.site is a low-quality search engine whose search feature simply runs the user's search term through the Google Search API. In short, the search results that Newpage16.site provides are identical to the ones you'll see on Google. However, unlike Google's homepage, Newpage16.site's homepage includes not just the search field, but also a small collection of quick links to some popular Web destinations such as Facebook, Amazon, eBay, Instagram, etc. Another notable thing about Newpage16.site is that a significant fraction of the Newpage16.site's traffic is brought to it with the help of browser hijackers – small pieces of software that manipulate a Web browser's settings so that it redirects users to a particular website under certain circumstances.
