We’ve all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

    media.peerconnection.enabled it disable WebRTC.

    Why would you want that? Doesn’t that block you from using basically any online call?

      Personally I have a separate Ungoogled Chromium installation for online calls, since some of those call/conferencing services kick up a fuss when launched inside Firefox ☹️

      I don’t do online calls. Yes, it does block you from making online calls.

          WebRTC leaks your IP allowing third-party websites to exploit the WebRTC in your browser to detect your real IP address and use it to identify you.

          You still can use desktop apps to do that.
