- Rated 2 out of 5by 𝖘𝖈͈̺𝖆𝖗, 6 years agoThis doesn't have the "Forge" option that RefControl had, which sends the root of the site being visited as the Referer. "Prune" is close but it will send https://r.search.yahoo.com as the Referer when visiting https://www.whatismyreferer.com/ for example. "Forge" would send https://www.whatismyreferer.com/ instead. Please add a "Forge" option. Thanks

posted 6 years agoI've created an enhancement issue (https://github.com/airtower-luna/referer-mod/issues/3) for a "forge"-like feature, you're welcome to comment on whether that'd be what you need. - Rated 2 out of 5by WilliamAHuston, 6 years agoThis add-on used to work for me. Now that I've upgraded to Quantum (v60.0, 64 bit, Win7) it is no longer working.
I am trying to use the "replace" action. I have confirmed using LiveHeaders that when I visit the target domain, there is NO "Referer:" directive at all. It's not wrong, it's missing. WilliamAHuston@gmail.com thanks.Developer response
posted 6 years agoIf the issue was with per-domain rules it should be fixed in version 0.5. - Rated 3 out of 5by HL1234, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by George Pop, 7 years agoThank you for this extension! It works even better for me than RefControl.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Roger Dodger, 7 years agoI am a great fan of RefControl and want to install this addon as a replacement. However, it reports that I am using Firefox 52.0 despite the fact that I am using 64 bit Firefox 57.0 on Linux Minr 18.2!!
Please fix. - Rated 4 out of 5by Rick, 7 years agoWorks well so far. I'd love a toolbar icon to access a settings gui that showed the current referrer and the addition of some RefControl features, especially "Block (3rd Party)".
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13262486, 7 years agoThanks for this replacement but can be improved. Parity of RefControl options, for example: own addon page or popup gui which can easily control options such as allow referrer for same domain only, block referrer/block only 3rd party referrers, bar showing current page referrer etc.
