The New York Times uses WebRTC to gather local IP ...
I'm surprised that isn't enabled by default. I hope that the developer changes that in the future.

Yes, sharing IP addresses is needed for P2P communication to work so enabling this blocking option would also block legitimate uses of WebRTC such as video chat (e.g.
https://talky.io
,
https://appear.in
, etc.) and low-latency data sharing.
