I made this topic because it’s not fun seeing the old new tab background but I still don’t want a grey page do I? I am asking to request a feature where you can change your new tab background like chrome, not just the top where the tabs are. A lot of people using Brave have been craving this new feature and if you do it, a lot of people will be happy. I saw no one was taking action so I decided to do it.
There are some really experienced users on Brave who love Brave and have been using it for a long time and I think all those guys want this feature, do me a favor? Add this feature? Please.
This feature is being worked on presently:

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.
