Referer policy:- For webs' top frame (i.e. clicking link, navigating, redirecting etc.):
- If origin and target url have same domain, allow trimmed referer
- If origin and target url have different domain, no referer
- For in-page resources (images, videos, js, css etc.), allow trimmed referer (this is the key to not break most webs, also a balance between privacy and experience)
- Trim referer: Any referer should be no more than
http(s)://domain-name:port/
(like Firefox's nativeabout:config
settingnetwork.http.referer.trimmingPolicy = 2
). - Not allow referer that not starts with "http" or "https". (Please feedback if you find something broken due to this)
- No referer when downgrade from HTTPS to HTTP
If user find a web broken, user can temporary set this addon disabled via toolbar button for:- this one tab
- this one tab and new tabs opened by this tab
- this one window
- globally
