Allow users to skip or opt out of specific New Tab Page Sponsored Image ads

Description

Original description:

At present, users can only enable or disable the NTPSI feature entirely. However, some users would like to opt out of specific NTPSI ads they don't like, but would not like to disable the feature entirely.

With Brave Ads user ads, users can opt out of specific ad notifications or ad campaigns through the 7-day Ads History feature. However, no equivalent currently exists for NTPSIs.

@jsecretan also believes this is a good feature to implement.

Add widget menu functionality to the Sponsored Image logo that is already implemented for other NTP widgets. This will enable 'downvoting' on specific sponsored images campaigns.

Visit website.com takes the user to the SI website
Learn more takes the user to https://brave.com/brave-rewards/
Skip this campaign will hide the current sponsored image and opt the user out of the specific campaign they don't like, but leaves other sponsored images on. This is equivalent to 'downvoting' a campaign.
