• Verified No content card is shown when user is not following any sources in news settings
• Verified user is able to add sources via the No content card by tapping on Choose content sources CTA. Ensured that brave news feed is populated once user has sources added and returns to NTP.
• Verified removing all sources on upgraded profile will show the No content card on NTP
