Finally, the new version works. The old version didn't work so I used the third-party extension. Now I'm using the official extension by Google to prevent the webrtc leak.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
WebRTC Network Limiter requires very minimum permissions.
Risk impact analysis details
- High Can change privacy settings, which if misused, may compromise user privacy.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
WebRTC Network Limiter has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
Risk likelihood analysis details
- Medium This extension has medium user count. Unpopular extensions may not be stable or safe.
