option to disable trackers

Trackers are no longer necessary for many users & are an additional avenue of usage tracking. With UDP, DHT, & magnet links alone, I have been downloading everything I want without connecting to trackers for many years now.

Rather than having to remove trackers from each magnet link, then double check the downloading torrent periodically to ensure that tracker sharing has not refilled the list, I would vastly prefer a Settings toggle to turn off tracker usage entirely.

A checkbox to Disable Trackers would be really welcome & would increase privacy for many users. (Not that connecting to public torrent peerclouds is private anyway, but we don't need to go advertising our usage to tracker servers anymore!)

Please create an option to entirely disable tracker usage for all torrents.
