Yeah that was an intentional omission I made on the fly cause the screens were needed so quickly. Too many big learn more buttons all over the page and in Windows with Tor it would have made it two big purple buttons going to the same article.. The Private Window learn more button was adjusted to a link inline with the copy as well instead of a big button (we could probably follow suit in Tor windows but I'd like to sit with it for a bit).

Is there a mockup of what this task is that we can put in here?
Only a couple working days left until the freeze, thanks!

These are the latest designs for this initiative. They are good to go.

tor
private window
qwant layout

I suspect we need @cezaraugusto's help here if we're to make this task in time (he might already be working on it, not sure).

Fairly sure this isn't making it in by the freeze tomorrow morning, so moving to the 1.0 project.

Didn't realize there was activity in this, no problem moving back if we make the cut.

I think this is still on track to make it. @cezaraugusto has a better handle on status but we're on it and progress seems positive.

QA: note the following changes from the designs in this issue:

  • Final text is in this doc, not the mockups
  • Learn more overlay has been replaced with links to the knowledge base
  • For this revision, all browsers get the DDG version, there's no impl of the DDG-free one

Tor window More info is missing which is mentioned in the document but not implemented. cc: @tomlowenthal to confirm if this needs to be tracked in a new issue?

@tomlowenthal as @srirambv mentioned above, the mockup from https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/1507#issuecomment-429212976 doesn't display the Learn more under the THIS IS A Private Window with Tor section but the https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-LvUwonWwXiFJvw1MjLt9fsCWktEiKiEM7cZ-UN6uPQ document mentions that there should be a [Learn more] underneath. Let us know which one is correct and we'll create a new issue if Learn more should have been there.

Nice catch on the learn more. Let's open a new issue to re-add that link for 56; I don't think it should block the 55 release since right now it's redundant with the text below. And there may be some other design tweaks for 56, so we can roll that right in.

Yeah that was an intentional omission I made on the fly cause the screens were needed so quickly. Too many big learn more buttons all over the page and in Windows with Tor it would have made it two big purple buttons going to the same article.. The Private Window learn more button was adjusted to a link inline with the copy as well instead of a big button (we could probably follow suit in Tor windows but I'd like to sit with it for a bit).
