What is meant by referrer "history"? As far as I know, referrer in http headers can refer only to the one most recently visited resource.
Edit: And what's with this?
> There is another feature in browsers which is “Do Not Track” (http://donottrack.us/ http://donottrack.us/). For organic/real users the possible options are “Yes”, “No”, “Unspecified”;
The DNT http header has 2 values. "0" and "1".
- cpeterso 11y agoThere are a number of ways (some patched) for sites to guess at your browsing history, such as the color of visited links or HSTS cache timing. https://zyan.scripts.mit.edu/blog/sniffly/ https://zyan.scripts.mit.edu/blog/sniffly/
- x0x0 11y agoI don't think people are doing anything sketchy. They're asking did your browser go amazon.com -> search evo 850 -> evo 850 product page -> post "add to cart" or did your browser do evo 850 product page -> post "add to cart" or even post "add to cart" those are sorted in decreasing order of naturalness. Obviously #2 can happen if you got a link directing you to the product page, but it's still less natural. You would often expect to see the referrer be an email domain or similar.
