No immediate visual feedback from URL bar before page starts to load

[riastradh-brave]

Description

After typing a URL into the URL bar and hitting enter, there's no immediate visual feedback at first; then after a delay the orange peel in the tab title starts spinning.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Brave tab (to amplify the effect: a private tab with Tor enabled).
2. Type in a URL.
3. Hit enter.

Actual result:
There is a noticeable delay before the orange peel in the tab title starts spinning, ranging from a fraction of a second to several seconds in private tabs with Tor enabled.

Expected result:
There should be immediate visual feedback that Brave has acknowledged the URL input and is trying to make a connection.

Reproduces how often:
100%

Clicking on the info button in shields opens a new tor tab but there is no visual indication that the connection is being setup before the page is loaded. Sometime it takes ~10 secs to load the page which makes it look like the page isn't loaded unless the user waits that long.
