Don't have plans for the week? Don't worry, we have you covered! 🦇☀️ Here's the agenda for the BAT Community events happening this week. 🗓️

So many new backgrounds 😍

👀 The web was never meant to watch you — so why do we keep letting it? In Episode 6 of #PrivacyInMotion, with @MidnightNtwrk and @brave we dive into how blocking trackers by default and building new web models could finally make privacy the norm, not the exception. [Partner

My computer would’ve been so much faster. 😢

Excited to have our official Brave Search MCP Server made available on @SmitheryDotAI. Huge thanks to @arjunkmrm and team for their assistance, and for building such an impressive platform and service. Head over to https://t.co/qqMkIIv0kx and check out the hosted MCP server.

Brave's growth is getting noticed. 👀 On This Week in Startups (@twistartups), @Jason Calacanis and @Alex Wilhelm discussed our user-first browser reaching nearly 98 million monthly active users in August. Full segment here:  https://t.co/bX1zJCd8Cv

One reason websites want you to use their apps instead of your browser is because it's easier to track your activity there. We block these "switch to app" pop-ups so they won't interrupt your private browsing.

Small change in the new update: You can now delete files right in the downloads panel! 🗑️

As we announced earlier, Leo has new personalization settings! You can set up Leo to remember information across conversations while still protecting your privacy. Learn about other customization features landing in Brave today in this thread:

We also added Gemma 12B to Leo's list of available models. Gemma 12B is a multilingual model you can use to analyze text or images. Like all AI models in Leo, it's hosted on our own infrastructure to protect user privacy.

Need to ask Leo to summarize or answer a question about a browser tab? Just @ it! You can select multiple tabs for more complicated tasks. For example, you could build a shopping list based on three recipes you found.

Get more done with Leo! 🦁 Today's desktop update improved our browser's AI assistant in a few ways. Here's a rundown of the changes 👇

To help you revamp your browser's appearance, we added a batch of fresh images for new tab pages! See some examples below.🖼️ Click "Customize" in the bottom right of a new tab page if you'd rather use a solid color, gradient, or images of your own as your background.

Also, be sure to check out the new toolbar settings panel. ⚙️ This menu allows you to easily hide or show buttons at the top of the browser. Settings -> Appearance -> Customize your toolbar

You can now tell Leo facts that you want it to remember across sessions. For example, you can ask Leo to always answer in the same tone. This personalization data is only stored on your device to preserve your privacy. Settings -> Leo -> Customize Leo's responses and memories

First: colors and themes! 🎨 A new settings panel lets quickly you set an accent color, or swap between light and dark modes. Settings -> Appearance -> Theme
