  Better to just disable it from the about:config menu in my opinion, no need for an extension. To do this In Firefox: 1) Type 'about:config' in your address bar 2) Set 'media.peerconnection.enabled' value to 'false'. (The Default value is 'true')

    This addon does as you suggest but with a simple click as opposed to having to go into about:config. Better if you think you might use webrtc from time to time.

      I can actually see WebRTC becoming very useful... I actually miss the days where the likes of IRC, AOL and Yahoo group chats were more common... I wouldn't even know where to begin if I just wanted to chat with random people who are relatively local to me today. Not just voice/video but text. That said, I'm not sure how useful the P2P aspects of text are, but being able to send files directly would be a nice ability.

For Chrome, UBlock Origin also has the option to prevent WebRTC IP Leaks: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa...

    This and uMatrix (https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki) both forked from HTTP Switchboard. uBlock is an adblocker, uMatrix has finely grained matrix controls for which http requests are even allowed to go through and requires tuning for most sites. I like having both :)
