Referer Control

What is Referer Control?

The Referer Control extension provides granular control over the HTTP referrer header, allowing users to customize the referrer information sent with each request on a per-site basis. It offers the ability to forge a specific referrer URL, disable the referrer entirely, or choose from a predefined set of options. This functionality extends to JavaScript's document.referrer property, ensuring consistent referrer management across both server-side and client-side requests. With Referer Control, users can enhance their online privacy and security by managing the disclosure of their browsing history and origins
