### Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP address
Option removed from desktop browsers in [uBlock Origin v1.38](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1723).

- Firefox: ["Enable mDNS hostname obfuscation"](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1588817)
- Chromium: ["mDNS service for IP handling in WebRTC"](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=878465)
Option is still available in Android Firefox, because obfuscation is still not implemented there: ["Support mDNS hostname obfuscation on Android"](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1581947)
