// If WebRTC is supported, there won't be an exception if we
// try to instantiate a peer connection object.

// https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/533#issuecomment-168097594
// Because Chromium leaks WebRTC connections after they have been closed
// and forgotten, we need to test for WebRTC support inside an iframe, this
// way the closed and forgottetn WebRTC connections are properly garbage
// collected.
