[AMENDMENT] Disable WebRTC #227

Closed B1ack3ye closed 3 months ago

Location

Web Browsing / Disable WebRTC

Amendments

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)
