Description

Description

Many users want very simplistic layouts for their NTP or Private tab pages. I think it is a reasonable request to add a toggle that enables or disables the search bar on the Private tab page "on" or "off" depending on the users preferences. image

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the private tab page implementation to locate the search bar component and the existing settings toggle for the new tab page. Investigate how to add a new setting to control visibility of the search bar specifically in private mode.
