Some sites use referrer as their "cookie session". One site use Cloudflare Anti-DDOS referrer as their cookie. Removing that referrer will cause the browser to infinity loop in CF Anti-DDOS because the site is expecting that referrer before entering the site.
I hate sharing Amazon shopping links because Amazon packs much referrer as possible in the link. Amazon uses the referrer to track who am I sharing to and use it for data for them to sells.
- lupire 6y agoAre you conflating Referer with URL parameters? (Amazon calls them "ref tags" (referrer tags) but that's not HTTP Referer. It's not even possible to do what you are imagining with HTTP Referer, since Referer is only inside a browser session, not across from you to your friend.
