Feature Request: Remove or simplify the referrer

opened this issue · comments

commented

Although referrers sent by the client are very useful to analytics of websites, and sometimes necessary if some privileges are required, for the search engine it may cause privacy leaks (especially when the user hastily copy&paste a long search string). So I suggest keeping the referrer simple by removing the URL path, and even block the referrer.

I'm learning to write some extensions for firefox but it will be great if you have time to implement it before I go that deep into my way. :)

Ok, there is already <meta name="referrer" content="origin"> in the html page to simplify the referrer. No problem now.
