When Will You Add An Option To Disable WebRTC?
-
This is to me and probably a lot of people one of the main reasons why we left chrome and went elsewhere. When will you give us a snapshot to test disabling webrtc?

There is a recent lengthy Wilders Forum discussion running from February 2015 to now, involving whether extensions (ie: WebRTC Block, uBlock Origin, etc) or certain browser settings can adequately block WebRTC in various browsers, especially chromish ones:
http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/need-alternative-webrtc-block-no-longer-works.373191/One of the discussion points is whether WebRTC Block works against all aspects of WebRTC leakage, and how effectively. The impression I've gotten is that there remains a lot of debate on the subject. Likewise, browser design evolution seems to offer ongoing risks to a blocking extension's effectiveness. One agreed-upon conclusion is that the most sure approach is using a browser that internally does not support WebRTC at all or else provides effective internal blocking of all aspects.
For users of VPN's, especially in politically-repressive lands, this is all a very serious issue.

I wonder this aswell. What are our options regarding webRTC? Is there any safe Chrome add on perhaps?
