Hello, I’m really enjoying the Brave browser for its speed and privacy features. However, I am quite frustrated by the limitations on profile avatars. The current default options feel very limited and don’t allow for a custom image, which makes my profile look quite uniform and boring.  
Additionally, I often get confused between my different accounts because the avatars are just different colors, making it hard to distinguish them at a glance. When I used Chrome, it was quite clear because I could add a picture, and it was obvious which one to choose. This coloration really makes me feel annoyed and confused. I would love to see Brave implement a way for users to upload their own photos for a more personalized experience.

It seems like Brave will add this feature with Sync v3, but could be wrong.
