Brave News is now available in the browser's Sidebar

Brave News can now be opened directly in the browser's Sidebar. Users click the newspaper icon in the sidebar to pull up their custom, private news feed at any time without navigating to the New Tab Page.

• The feature was a long-standing user request, tracked as issue #29147 in Brave's browser repository.
• Brave announced the arrival in a post on X, showing the sidebar news panel in action.
• The change adds Brave News to the existing set of sidebar panels alongside Leo, Favorites, Reading List, and Playlist.
