uBlock blocks webRTC leaking. it's also way better and faster than the crummy adblock extension.
- mirimir 10y agoWell, I use Firefox, and just disable WebRTC :) So does uBlock allow web torrents, while blocking webRTC leaks? I doubt it, because peers need to know public IP address. Unless you run a VPN client in the router, anyway.
- MrFlynn 10y agoI don't think it disables WebRTC, per se. I think uBlock prevents WebRTC applications from leaking your IP. Hangouts still works with WebRTC leaking disabled through uBlock, so that leads me to believe that's what's going on.
- mirimir 10y agoIf feross is right about WebRTC no longer leaking IP, then maybe it's not necessary to prevent leaks with uBlock?
