Description
Currently the WebTorrent component and its background page is loaded when the browser starts. It could save ~20MB and a process if we use a network throttle to detect .torrent and magnet URLs, and only enable it once one of those 2 things are loaded.
Steps to Reproduce
Actual result:
Torrent loads, but process exists as soon as you open the browser with a fresh profile.
Expected result:
Torrent still loads correctly, but process only starts once you load a torrent.
Reproduces how often:
Always.
Brave version (brave://version info)
