Universal Mode - the boring details: why it matters and how it works

A lot of technical info below, read it only if you are really care.

It answers three questions:

  • Why such a big change?

  • What about security?

  • Chromium warning

Why such a big change?

Our main thing is to keep an eye on WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) traffic and show you where the IPs are coming from, so you know who your browser is chatting with. Everything else is just extra.

How to use Universal Mode

Universal Mode is the future of Videochat Extension.

It can monitor your WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) activity.

If necessary, it can operate at the browser level, ensuring that the website you want to monitor cannot detect that you are tracking WebRTC.

1. Ensure that you installed the extension from Chrome Web Store<...

ome.tv temporarily disabled (v2.2.6)

On December 3, 2024, we received multiple complaints from users who reported being instantly banned on ome.tv-like sites.

What happened?

An anonymous script flooded the channel used to transmit potential IP addresses for webrtc connections from the page to the extension with thousands of random IP addresses per each real one, resulting in thousands of geolocation requests and po...

ome.tv attacks (?) - Videochat Extension Release v2.2.4 (2024-07-25)

Improved geolocation stability amid issues on ome.tv.

tl;dr: Between July 13, 2024, and July 28, 2024, Videochat Extension experienced a weird attack on our server infrastructure originating from the ome.tv side. It is still unclear whether this was intentional, as there are many forks in the wild, and no one has contacted us about it.

Before version 2.2.4, the Videochat Extension ultimately trusted the web page. During certain hour...
