[Android] Include option for users to hide privacy stats from the NTP
See original GitHub issueDescription
Users should have a way to hide the privacy stats widget from their NTP if desired. I’ve seen several users make this request and think that it is reasonable and valid, especially considering we allow this option on the desktop version of the browser.
Possible solutions/suggestions:
- Add overflow/three dots menu to stats widget that offers option to hide them
- Include a toggle option in
Settings --> New Tab Page
that allows user to toggle the widget on/off - Include option in
Settings
orMain menu
to display privacy report (whether widget is toggled on/off or not)

Updated design
@anthonypkeane Here is my suggestion for the setting page to toggle off Privacy Report. @rmcfadden3 Please check this, i am calling them “widgets” to group it with Top sites. Also i have removed the “Show” verb from the item as it is unnecessary as it has a toggle and the state of it directly below.
