Auto Referer in Chrome with OffiDocs

DESCRIPTION

Control HTTP Referer to protect privacy and not break web.

Open source at https://github.

com/garywill/autoReferer Referer policy: 1. For webs' top frame (i.

e.

clicking link, navigating, redirecting etc.

): 1).

If origin and target url have same domain, allow trimmed referer 2).

If origin and target url have different domain, no referer 2. For in-page resources (images, videos, js, css etc.

), allow trimmed referer (this is **the key to not break** most webs, also a balance between privacy and experience) 3. Trim referer: Any referer should be no more than `http(s)://domain-name:port/` 4. Not allow referer that not starts with "http" or "https".

(Please feedback if you find something broken due to this) 5. No referer when downgrade from HTTPS/WSS to HTTP/WS We believe that can protect privacy enough and won't break web.

If user find a web broken, user can temporary set this addon disabled via toolbar button for: - this one tab - this one tab and new tabs opened by this tab - this one window (Firefox only) - globally (above can be set as keyboard shortcuts) there's showy toolbar button badge indicating disabling status.

## Notice Due to browser bug on javascript `document.

referrer` , using a regular referer controlling addon you can get 70% of expected protection until they fix that bug.

So, we've implemented a workaround to improve protection to 85%.

Please enable workaround in addon settings .

This addon doesn't use content script.

Content script hiding `document.

referrer` is not 100% reliable.

Instead, we use this workaround to kill `document.

referrer`: Cancel all cross-domain navigating requests and make freshnew ones, like directly hit (currently only implemented for GET method and main frame, other methods and sub-frames remain as is) ## Allowlist Currently it has hard-coded allowlist.

## Disclaimer This open souce addon comes with no warranty.

Use on you own risk!
