WebRTC Blocker is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your online privacy by disabling WebRTC in your browser. WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) allows browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Brave to enable voice, video chat, and peer-to-peer sharing without additional plugins. However, it can inadvertently expose your real IP address even when connected to a VPN, leading to privacy leaks.

This extension effectively blocks WebRTC leaks, ensuring your VPN usage remains secure and your IP address hidden. By installing WebRTC Blocker, you protect yourself from these browser vulnerabilities and maintain stronger control over your online identity. Ideal for users concerned about their privacy and security while browsing with VPNs, this extension complements VPN services like HideMyOrigin.com that offer additional security tools such as DNS-based ad blocking.

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 Blocker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

WebRTC Blocker is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
