Branding/Design issue: Brave://new-tab-page/ still redirects to the Google New Tab page

[Sa-Ja-Di]

Found an unresolved branding/redesign issue in Brave

The internal link Brave://new-tab-page/ shows the Chromium new tab page instead of the Brave variant

Issue:

Enter Brave://new-tab-page/
inside the browser

Result:

Chromium internal new tab page with Google logo is appearing

Expected Result:

Brave new tab page should appear

@Sa-Ja-Di,
Good catch — I see that you’ve also opened an issue for this on Github already. I’ve pinged a couple people internally and tagged someone in the issue to take a look.

Thanks again for reporting.

@Mattches So far sadly no answer regarding this issue on Github, perhaps you can ping devs more directly about that

[Mattches]

I already did — we’re not particularly worried about it at this time, as you have to type the exact link in, which 99% of users are not doing, but we will be removing it moving forward.

Great to hear, thanks for the response
