NoRefer Extension

NoRefer

https://github.com/c475/NoRefer

Enter one header and optional replacement value per line




To block an HTTP header from your requests:

===================================

Referer

===================================


To spoof an HTTP header in your requests:

===================================

Referer: https://somegarbagewebsite.com/

===================================




Exclude all headers starting with \"Accept\" (the # signals a Regular Expression):

===================================

#Accept.*

===================================



Make all headers starting with \"Accept\" a particular value:

===================================

#Accept.*: SomeValue

===================================



All regular expressions are generally permitted, except ones containing ':' because it breaks the parser




A full example config and explanation of what it does:

===================================

#Accept.*: SomeValue
Referer
User-Agent: CoolAgent4000
#Co.*

===================================

1. All headers starting with \"Accept\" will have the value \"SomeValue\"
2. \"Referer\" will be removed from your request headers
3. \"User-Agent\" headers will have the value \"CoolAgent4000\"
4. All headers starting with \"Co\" will be removed from your request headers

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/31/2018 In case you're reading this, could you make it so that we can customize the headers by domains/sites? For example, if I block the user-agent header, google.com appears old-style to me, I'd like to allow it just there Even better privacy-wise would be to randomize the header values on a time based interval rather than being the same all the time
