Description

HTTP-only sites don't work even when Upgrade connections to HTTPS is disabled in settings. The Dashboard ignores the settings (still has the option enabled) and even disabling from the Dashboard doesn't stop the connection from getting upgraded.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Disable Upgrade connections to HTTPS in brave://settings
2. Go to an HTTP-only site (e.g. https://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?httpsok=0)

Actual result:

Site's not working.

Expected result:

Site's working
