> * The new tab page shows crypto ads by default. I couldn't figure out how to opt-out of these despite a couple of minutes in the "customize dashboard" menu. I know the option exists, but it's well-hidden.

Customize->Background image. Has a total of two switches. One for background images at all, the other for sponsored background images. Turn the second one off.

The discussion is about the default setting; not the ability to turn it on and off later.

The person I was responding to said it was "well hidden". It's literally one of a grand total of two toggles in the relevant settings screen, which is also the first one that opens if you click the customize button.

So it's not part of the "dashboard" with all the other UI elements on the new tab page despite having its own HTML elements and the option is hidden in the seemingly unrelated background image menu? That certainly is well hidden.

What areyou even on about? There's a clear customize button on the new tab page, that has a clear background image customization. If you want to change it where else would you look?
