I could check the WebRTC leakage and the result was negative, with this app you won't be protected

The best extension for tracking protection! I hope the author will continue to develop and support it!

Most works great but webgl protection causes google maps to display weird so its unusable. I also have to disable canvas protection on websites like foxnews because it messes with the thumbnails.
