[REMOVAL] Disable WebRTC #226

Closed B1ack3ye closed 11 months ago

B1ack3ye commented 11 months ago

What should be removed?

Web Browsing / Disable WebRTC

Justification

The uBlock Origin have the WebRTC option removed because:

A large amount of users still enable "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" which breaks WebRTC application even though browsers no longer leak local IP address information by masking local candidates with mDNS.

This option if not removed should at a minimum be hidden behind advance settings (defaulted to off)
