I posted it because it was super useful while I was trying to debug some Referer header "error", which actually just turned out to be a gap in my knowledge of these various situations where the header is suppressed on purpose.
Main takeaways for me:
- Go from HTTPS -> HTTP and the header is lost.
- <a> tag has "noreferrer" feature. Notably imgur uses this (I was trying to understand why imgur wasn't showing up in my stats properly).
- There's now a meta tag which lets site owners decide if they want to give out referrer info or not.
