I saw a discussion on Reddit that Gnome Web would have WebRTC. I tested my Gnome Web app and it’s not there yet on mine. Would it be much trouble to put a cutoff switch in the app settings to turn WebRTC off? For me, WebRTC can be a security issue. Thanks for your time in considering a cutoff switch.
We can add a hidden switch in the future when WebRTC is eventually supported. In the meantime, it would be premature to support disabling a feature that doesn’t exist yet.
You shouldn’t need it to avoid IP leaks, though, as WebRTC should be gated behind user interaction, as in Safari.
Thanks very much for the reply. I like Gnome Web. For all of my tests, I’ve been using:
It also lets me know where my VPN exited since sometimes it exits to a different server than selected. Thanks for the work on Gnome Web and thanks to all for the work on Gnome apps. I have them on all of my Ubuntu, PinePhone (postmarketOS (essentially Alpine Linux)), and OnePlus 6 (postmarketOS) devices.
In my case, Gnome Web has always been faster on PinePhone than Firefox.
Thanks again and have a great day.
