Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before so i can’t find somewhere.
When we will able to choose new background for new tab? I’d will love to use it.
Thank you.
I believe it is being worked on. Have heard about it before. Here is one example I found, not sure if this is the same or not…

Thank you… It looks awesome, i like it but any idea why they don’t add it? it’s been since april
I tried Nightly and Beta but it’s not available there.
Not sure, maybe they nixxed the idea for now, or too busy working on other “more important” things. All i know is you amongst a few others have requested it. I have not heard of any progress.

### Sponsored images toggle
The sponsored images toggle is at the top level under Customize Dashboard > Background images. Users are able to have sponsored images on/off independently of whether they have their own uploaded background, a Brave background, solid color, or gradient background selected. When the user has Brave Ads off, it will prompt them to "Start using Rewards".

Once clicked, the Rewards onboarding tutorial will show.

When the user visits the sponsored images toggle again, the "Start using Rewards" button will be hidden and it will inform them that they are earning tokens for seeing sponsored images.
