Brave "New Tab" Widget Customization

[Gamefreaknet]

As I have seen (and heard) from people in this Forum it has been previously requested to have the old New Tab layout returned (where the Search Bar is more centralised).

I came to Brave as I had previously heard it was very performant in its Adblocking capability and its efficiency in using System Resources (something I left Opera due to).

I do however much prefer how customisable Opera is and its Default New Tab layout and am really not fond of the Search Bar being on the bottom of the New Tab page (so much to the point I actually considered sticking with Opera due to how much I dislike it…)

The lack of New Tab customisability really makes the New Tab page feel lacking in features compared to the amount of other browsers that have it very available however I do not want to give up on the Brave browser just yet due to how much better it is/performs than other Browsers.
Could this be a feature coming in a later browser update not only for the Searchbar but also Widgets like the: Brave Stats Widget, Boomarks/Favourite Sites Widget along with the Searchbar?

As far as i found out , there is a refreshed version of New Tab ( under brave://flags/#brave-ntp-refresh-enabled) , and it’s really nice.

My only complain about it, that the Top Sites widget is too above the Brave Search widget , which ideally should be under and the whole TopSites+Search widgets should be more near the center of the page rather than the top.

Here are some modifications regarding the refreshed “new tab” which is intended for developers:
Swap the topsites-container with the searchbox-container , so the Search bar is first from top then goes the top sites widget.
For the searchbox-container move it from top by 140px , for the topsites-container you can add a position: relative/inherit and a top:120px;

And you get a nice and perfect looking new tab page.
(First is my variant , Second is browser default ( after the flag is enabled)
