Description of the issue:
I am unable to hide the bookmarks bar from the Start page.
Bookmarks bar on the Start page is ruining the aesthetic of the Start page.
I do not want to see the bookmarks bar on the Start page.
How can I hide the bookmarks bar on the Start page?

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Toggle the switch in brave://settings/appearance > Show bookmarks bar.
    Result:
    a) When the switch is on, the bookmarks bar appears on every single page when browsing.
    b) When the switch is off, the bookmarks bar does not appear except on the start page.

  2. Using the shortcut ctrl + shift + b:
    Result:
    a) Start page: Pressing ctrl + shift + b does not have any effect.
    b) Every other page except Start page: Pressing ctrl + shift + b toggles the bookmarks bar.

Expected result:
I want to have an option to hide the bookmarks bar entirely.
