User Reviews
Users generally find WebRTC Leak Shield effective at preventing leaks and consider it better than Firefox's default protection. However, some users note it doesn't work consistently, and it would be improved by having the protection enabled by default or allowing that setting to be toggled easily. Pros
- Effectively stops WebRTC leaks as intended
- Provides better protection than Firefox's standard Enhanced Tracking Protection
Cons
- Not always enabled by default, requiring manual activation
- Reports of it not working properly in some cases

Is WebRTC Leak Shield Safe?
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 Leak Shield requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details

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 Add-ons Store, 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 Leak Shield is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
