Description
**What problem are you trying to solve?**
I am currently testing MetaMask with my own local node, but I notice that MetaMask is showing me the fiat conversion rate of my balances... I would like to stop MetaMask from connecting to whatever third-party service it is using to fetch these conversion rates, and any other third party services it might be talking to.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A switch for "turning off all connections to external services" so that the MetaMask extension is only talking to my own node and nothing else. I want zero connections to any external/ third-party services.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by inventorying the extension's third-party service connections and defining the switch's scope; done would require a testable way to prevent those connections while retaining local-node operation.
