I read the article but I’m worried about the implementation which you won’t be able to choose and while you can change server realistically not many people will even know this happened.

I hope the focus is privacy and people and this change dowsn’t have people in mind.

Well, I don’t know how you could implement that from a website that would enable people to choose? Not sure that is technically possible.

And of course if you simply telll your browser not to send referer info in headers you won’t.
