How to disable WebRTC in Google Chrome?

WebRTC cannot be fully disabled in Chrome; however, it is possible to change its routing settings (and prevent leaks) using an extension. Two open-source solutions include WebRTC Leak Prevent (options may need to be changed depending on the scenario), and uBlock Origin (select "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" in Settings).

What about other browsers?

How to disable WebRTC in Safari?

  1. Open the browser and click on the Safari tab in the menu tab.
    2. -
  2. On the Advanced tab, check the box at the bottom that says "Show the Develop menu in menu bar".
