Please don’t do this without giving the option to disable it in private tabs just like how extensions can be enabled in private tabs. (ideally opt-in or ask on first use)

Granted that I would probably, rarely use Leo AI, but I was wondering, why Leo AI is not available in a Brave Browser Private Window?

I did find:

PS note to self, and for anybody else who “has no clue” on how to get started using Leo AI:
