Gabriel mentions in this post that https does not fully solve the problem, as referrers are still sent when using google in https mode. Can you confirm whether that's correct?
- axod 16y agohow many search engine results are https?
- ezalor 16y ago2 as far as I know : Google and DDG.
- othermaciej 16y agoI'm pretty sure it's correct. Browsers specifically block sending HTTPS referrers to HTTP sites, but not HTTPS to HTTPS. So using HTTPS mode wouldn't stop sending referrers to HTTPS sites unless Google has a referrer-avoidance mechanism on the results page itself.
