Aero Windwalker (ID: 0000001799453d1d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/26/2022 It does not work if I were to load the target url in a video tag. It works for fetch and xhr.

icon

Owain Baber (ID: 000000fcdf1a7a78) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/31/2022 The < default action > blocks referrers on pages you haven't configured which renders some completely unusable. It's impossible to login to Synology Photos web app with this extension active and sites like the Nextdoor app are completely broken with this active.

Benedikt Buchert (ID: 0000000e70b9d450) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/09/2022 Does not work for Javascript document.referrer changes. No intent from the developer to fix. So useless for me.

Andrew Ronding (ID: 0000009f001e34bb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/27/2022 Works great, many thanks.

Mark Henry (ID: 000000386f1543c9) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/29/2021 Doesn't work! I'm a developer and I tried removing the referer both in onBeforeSendHeaders() and onSendHeaders. Google chrome still adds it in the final request anyway. If you want to remove it you have to change the source code and build your own browser.
