Brave Introduces Brave Today, the Privacy-Preserving News Reader Integrated Into the Browser

[Protomartyr]

Curious as to what everyone thinks of the new Brave Today feature.

• I like the customization options that it provides. It's way more useful and configurable compared to Edge's version.
• There needs to be an option to easily disable certain categories. Currently the only way to do this is to go to the specific category and turn off all the sources under it.
• Any privacy issues/tracking involved with this feature? Is there a way to reset what the algorithm has learned about your preferences and start "fresh"? There's an option to reset publisher sources but I'm not sure if that also resets the ranking based on recent browsing history.
