Hello,
I noticed today that on the latest version of Brave (V1.33.106), the default wallpaper photographs for the new tabs have been changed. That is great, they all look good, I was simply wondering if there was a way to find the old ones. Perhaps by downloading a previous version? If so, how could I do that?
Thanks

That’s a great question. It seems like they update them periodically. A couple reference links:

This is sub task of https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/18568 for rep… lacing default bg image on Desktop.
STR:
1. Launch browser with clean profile
2. Open NTP and check Dylan Malval's image is displayed till NTP Background Images component is loaded.
Maybe deep-diving in there will help track them down? Unclear if they’re posted publicly.
Although I did see a reference there to this link: https://www.instagram.com/vass_captures/
So possibly some of them came from there.
