WebRTC Control is a browser extension designed to give you complete control over WebRTC functionality to safeguard your IP address from leaks. WebRTC, which enables browser-to-browser real-time communication like voice and video chat without plugins, can expose your real IP address even when using VPNs. This extension disables key WebRTC components such as navigator.getUserMedia, window.MediaStreamTrack, window.RTCPeerConnection, and window.RTCSessionDescription to prevent such leaks.

The extension features a straightforward toolbar icon that toggles WebRTC on or off with a single click—no complex settings or options pages to navigate. This ensures quick and easy control over your privacy while browsing. WebRTC Control is an effective tool for anyone looking to enhance online security and keep their IP address protected from unauthorized exposure.

User reviews

Users appreciate WebRTC Control for effectively toggling WebRTC on Firefox desktop browsers and its superior performance over manual configuration edits. However, reliability issues persist, requiring users to double-check its effectiveness frequently. Compatibility problems arise with specific sites and older Firefox versions, particularly on Android. Additionally, some users report intrusive advertising behavior from the add-on, which negatively impacts their experience and trust.
Pros
  • Effectively enables/disables WebRTC, improving privacy by preventing IP leaks.
  • Works on Firefox versions 60+ and is better than manually tweaking about:config settings.
  • Simple to use for controlling WebRTC without deep technical knowledge.
Cons
  • Does not always work reliably; users must frequently verify status with WebRTC leak testers.
  • Incompatible or breaks functionality on certain websites, such as ABN AMRO Ideal internet banking.
  • Does not work properly on Android versions or some recent Firefox versions (e.g., Firefox 63.0.2 on Android 5.0.2).
  • Some users experience intrusive advertising behavior upon updating, causing annoyance and prompts to uninstall.
