Make news optional, possibly NSFW, never used clutter

To my knowledge I can't just disable the news seen upon opening a new tab. Truly, I don't use your paid service just to be pushed some 'popular' political shenanigans. I do not care about politics, ideologies, pop stars and such. I just want to use an AI browser without having this unnecessary clutter which I NEVER OPEN and will NEVER OPEN.
In general there are some images which I don't wish to see, as they are NSFW. News contain such images often, because of some donkey celebrity flashing publicly for example. How do you imagine me using my you AI paid subscription at school / work / in public space? It could potentially cause uncomfortable social situations if someone sees me having suggestions with 99% naked people, or even worse - If I opened such clutter by accident in a work/school place. I would like to use you AI at presentations at school for example, so imagine opening a new tab and getting a news notification about some Cena male celebrity being shown half naked.
Just make this optional. It is a clutter which many people never use, it is potentially NSFW, it is just annoying and more problematic then useful.

I want to second this. As a user with ADHD it's frustrating to have this distracting material come up. I hate it. Please give paid users the option for a clean interface. And the NSFW thing is on-point, too. This being You.com, you'd expect it to reflect what You want to see... It looks like a list of previously opened tabs, to a third-person. And that's not the case.

I completely understand where you're coming from. Having a news feed on a new tab that can't be turned off is quite an inconvenience. I'm looking for a streamlined experience when I use a browser, not a constant stream of news, especially when it doesn't align with my interests or needs.
The issue with not-safe-for-work (NSFW) content is also a serious concern. Nobody wants to risk opening a new tab in a professional or public environment, only to be met with something that could be embarrassing or cause for concern. It's important to have control over what kind of content appears on our screens, to prevent any potential mishaps.
It's clear that there should be an option to disable or at least hide the news feed for those who don't want it. Flexibility in a browser is key, and being able to tailor it to personal preferences is a must. I hope the feedback reaches the right ears so that we can have a better user experience that respects our content preferences and the need for a professional environment.
