Be able to request a Private Tab via a button, instead of through the text box at the bottom of the new-tab page

Brave has many beautiful backgrounds on the new-tab page. In order to fully appreciate the artwork, I have removed all optional information from that screen. The only thing that I can not remove is the text box near the bottom for searching the web privately. If that could be toggled on and off with a button, then I could truly enjoy the full-screen artwork that Brave provides.

Example:

Alternatively, just make that text box optional in Settings.

Thank you so much for considering this request.

On that same page Customize > Search > Show search widget on the new tab page

Toggle it off.

Thank you so much. I did not dive in that direction. And I thought of the search area as a text box, not as a widget.

It feels great to see some of those beautiful screen backgrounds.
