How “Infinity New Tab” came into the computer?

Infinity New Tab is a browser extension that changes the user’s new tab page, typically the first thing that is seen when opening a browser. The extension can be downloaded as either as an installer for some browsers or as an add-on for others.

Infinity New Tab does not change your home page and does not store any of your data on their servers. It also does not collect any information about users.

The extension has 2 different modes; one is “dynamic” and the other is “seamless.” The difference between these two modes is that in the first mode, it will only show pages from its own database, while in the second mode it will show pages from any website you visit.

How to Prevent “Infinity New Tab”

Too many people install unknown browser extensions and 3rd party software without verifying them. This leads to a ton of malware getting installed on their computer.

Eventually, don’t install any time of browser extension or any software on your computer without verifying.
