This is typically done without the user's consent, often through misleading advertisements or via adware. Once installed, Searchtabs.io affects new browser tabs/windows.

The creators of Searchtabs.io profit through these redirects as they work with pay-per-click schemes to get your computer to visit risky or different types of websites that may generate them funds. Furthermore, Searchtabs.io can collect data about your web browsing habits, such as the websites you visit and the search terms you use.
