Verified on iPhone 14 and iPad Mini (6th gen) using version(s):

Device/OS: 
- iPhone 14 / iOS 26.1
- iPad Mini (6th gen) / iPadOS 26.2
Brave build: 1.86 (118)
BraveCore: 1.86.118 (143.0.7499.146)

STEPS:

ACTUAL RESULTS:

Verified that the Auto-Open Keyboard toggle switch is shown under the TABS section in the main settings.
Verified that the Auto-Open Keyboard toggle is disabled by default and can be enabled:
- After tapping New Tab/+ via bottom toolbar or tab tray menu the user didn't land on the NTP, but on the Favorites screen, and the URL bar is focused and the keyboard has been brought up automatically.
- Tapping the Cancel button closes Favorites screen and brings the user to the newly created NTP.
Verified that closing and reopening Brave while staying on NTP doesn't trigger the Favorites screen to be opened and the keyboard to be brought up automatically.
Verified the same behavior by opening new tab/new private tab via:
- Long tap on Brave's icon on the home screen.
- Brave's shortcut.
- Shortcuts app.
Verified the same behavior for Standard and Private tabs.
