Screenshot functionality is not changed when togglig 'Allow screenshots' until after app restart

I believe it's set by default and there's no way to disable it. Problem is it blocks things like being able to take screenshots, be nice if I could just decide if I want flag_secure enabled or not via a setting rather than have to have a different browser on my device that doesn't use it.

EDIT: We have added a toggle but it requires an app restart which is not indicated in the app

We'll need some UX help on this, too. Currently, I'm thinking we can add a menu item (in the main menu) for "Allow screenshots" or something like this.

Maybe it is out of scope. Maybe we can do it. Tagging as a wish.
