Description

If you navigate to a verified Reddit publisher on Android, the publisher info does not display in the panel, summary view is shown instead.

Note, on Nightly the BAT logo displays the verified check icon, but tapping on the logo still shows summary view, not publisher view.

I don't think Reddit was implemented on tabs version, I wasn't sure if we should get it automatically when switching to core.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Navigate to a verified reddit publisher (I was using staging) --> reddit.com/u/alex_the_brave
  2. Depending on which channel you are using, look at BAT logo. Release/Beta does not show verified check icon for this publisher, but Nightly will.
  3. Open panel.

Actual result

Release/Beta (1.8.x) no verified icon, summary view shown:
reddit18x

Nightly (1.10.x) verified icon, summary view shown:
reddit110x

Expected result

Publisher info to be displayed similar to desktop
