More top sites will be great, also don't just use favicon as some sites don't have a favicon, then all the top site links look identical. Add title text below each box like chrome perhaps.

cc: @cezaraugusto Can you triage this one? Not clear what the feature request is here. Looks like @chetanpm wants more top sites?

Yes more website icons like the bookmarked ones and top visited sites.

Updated the title to be more specific and linked to this from the large parent issue https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/353

cc: @karenkliu @bradleyrichter @rebron - I can't remember if the new top sites spec had ability to do two rows...

@bsclifton Yep! For user-curated mode people can have unlimited top sites tiles; it starts paging after 2 rows. For frecency mode we're still keeping it at 6.

Yeah that would be nice. I would rather not have to resort to yet another awful newtab extension.

Firefox new tab topsites is one of my favorite features.

I turn off everything on the new tab and just have all my top sites on it. I extend it to have like 20 rows by changing about:config

Would be great if I had this option in Brave. One of the few features keeping me from switching.
