It's safer for all users for SDL to not get price data by default. We cannot avoid the fact that even though we are using TLS, the server name is leaked by SNI during the beginning of the TLS handshake and so a network spy (such as a user ISP) knows that a computer is talking to coingecko.com (but not which page is requested).
Users that want price feed data can enable it explicitly via settings.

I updated in dev branch to default to off: 35e14d53c5
I have not tested with a new wallet, but deleting config file and restarting SDL seems to default it to off. There is still no popup modal yet.

The same popup modal in hush/SilentDragon#106 should be implemented for SDL
