Brave constantly polling sites in the background, please stop.

See original GitHub issue

Description

Brave is constantly polling:

GET /data/price?fsym=ETH&tsyms=USD HTTP/1.1
Host: min-api.cryptocompare.com

and

GET /v2/blacklist HTTP/1.1
Host: api.infura.io

Web3 provider for dapps is set to none.

If I browse to brave://wallet it loads the new wallet page, with hardware wallet connector options.

Steps to Reproduce

Intercept traffic with a web proxy.

Expected result:

To not constantly poll anything.

Brave version (brave://version info)

1.5.115 Chromium: 80.0.3987.149 (Official Build) (64-bit)

@snieg correct - I think just visiting the page once activates the extension (and the extension may be polling those URLs)

Looks like @bbondy has a fix coming up with https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/5513 😄

@CHEF-KOCH can you please try Beta / Dev / Nightly channel? The fix is not in release channel yet. Will be in our next release (as confirmed by QA above). Thanks! 😄
