Feature Request: Please add an option to block WebRTC

Please add an option to block WebRTC, which can disclose local IP addresses despite VPN usage. https://diafygi.github.io/webrtc-ips/

More can be read about WebRTC here: https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips

Someone has already made a chrome extension to block WebRTC, but it would be nice if this functionality were added to Ghostery. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/de...

    Hear! Hear! I agree! Yes please! Ghostery is so close to a firewall, it might just as well go all the way and allow us to add sites that continually barrage and bombard us with adds and other annoying paraphernalia which erode and invade our privacy and internet time, not to mention our bandwidth that most of us pay dearly for. Please make sure a 'watch-its-progress' area is included so we can remove the new addition if we have made a mistake.
    PLEASE MAKE SURE WE RETURN TO A MENU AFTER WE APPLY AND SAVE OUR DATA AND NOT SIMPLY CLOSE OR RETURN TO A WORKING POSITION/CONDITION. We just might have more than one site to add.
    Sadly, this is what happens currently and it doesnt make helping very conducive.
