Referer Control

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");

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.

Worthless. Only changes HTTP referrer. You can still get the referrer through javascript.

Apparently it sends "referrer" instead of "Referrer" which makes github return 422. Of course this is stupid of github but makes your extension problematic.
