Latest reviews

• (2024-08-21) HackerQED: I've tried to implement this but failed. In V3 API declarativeNetRequest we aren't allowed to modify referer info like this extension does before. Long live `Referer Control` and welcome to an internet with less privacy. I feel really sad.
• (2024-08-10) Rudie Dirkx: Works well. Please update for newer Chrome manifest v3. I don't want to find another extension that does the same but not as well. Maybe open source it?
• (2022-12-26) Aero Windwalker: It does not work if I were to load the target url in a video tag. It works for fetch and xhr.

• (2022-10-31) Owain Baber: The < default action > blocks referrers on pages you haven't configured which renders some completely unusable. It's impossible to login to Synology Photos web app with this extension active and sites like the Nextdoor app are completely broken with this active.

• (2022-08-09) Benedikt Buchert: Does not work for Javascript document.referrer changes. No intent from the developer to fix. So useless for me.

• (2022-01-27) Mike Robinson: This extension works in Chrome, but unfortunately not in Opera. Also, keep in mind that in order to get this extension to work on search engine results pages, you need to manually tick the "Allow access to search page results" in the extension details. This is turned off by default. Note to the dev, to get it to work in Opera, you need to do the following near the beginning of refererControl.js: (isChrome || isOpera) && 72 <= chromeVersion && optExtraInfoSpec.push("extraHeaders");

• (2021-12-29) Mark Henry: Doesn't work! I'm a developer and I tried removing the referer both in onBeforeSendHeaders() and onSendHeaders. Google chrome still adds it in the final request anyway. If you want to remove it you have to change the source code and build your own browser.

• (2020-11-13) Nihad: Worthless. Only changes HTTP referrer. You can still get the referrer through javascript.

• (2020-07-02) Derghi Arrinde: Does not work on latest Vivaldi. I am a power user, a programmer, I make my own extensions. I tested this extensively. I think I just lost my time with this :-(

• (2020-06-25) Alireza Mohamadi: Apparently it sends "referrer" instead of "Referrer" which makes github return 422. Of course this is stupid of github but makes your extension problematic.

• (2019-08-31) Hadi Farnoud: it does not work. document.referrer is still the same. for anyone looking for an answer, you can do this manually: Object.defineProperty(document, "referrer", {get : function(){ return "http://kamva.ir"; }});

• (2018-06-04) hedgehog ful: Don't use it much, but it works. I use it to read the FT normally (pages load as if via google). Used to work w/ NYT and some other US papers, but these days I have a userscript for them.
