Interesting! That's not how I read the ublock origin docs:
"Keep in mind that this feature is to prevent leakage of your non-internet-facing IP adresses. The purpose of this feature is not to hide your current internet-facing IP address -- so be cautious to not misinterpret the results of some WebRTC-local-IP-address-leakage tests found online."
That said, my Firefox 91 and Safari don't leak local IPs regardless of the ublock setting.
Warrants more investigation perhaps.

- uniqueuid 5y agoGreat find! Here's the IETF draft [1], submitted by Apple (which would explain why I'm not seeing leaks on Safari) [1] https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-mdns-ice-candidates-00 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-mdns-ice-candida...
