Comment on Can uBlock Origin Block WebRTC?

Comments

No it can't, but yes it can, just not like that.

As can be seen, it matches on the source, not the destination

can match on the destination, however.

Its not a good state of things, but I'm assuming its more of an issue on the browser side as opposed to the extension side

Thanks for the reference links. I blocked RTC connections initiated on the SBI Shinsei banking log in page at bk.web.sbishinseibank.co.jp with the following custom uBlock Origin filter:

    bk.web.sbishinseibank.co.jp##+js(nowebrtc)
You can see that it works because typing `new window.RTCPeerConnection()` in the browser console prints this:
     Document tried to create an RTCPeerConnection:  undefined
Which comes from uBlock, see https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/5efb8ee4891c09720011e...

Edit: I gave a shout-out to your comment on the blog post linked in this submission. Thanks again.
