New submission from John Rouillard: See: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#link-type- noreferrer We already use: nofollow noopener for links to reduce the utility of spamming a tracker (nofollow) and prevent a link opened from a tracker from interacting with the tracker via the opener handle. Adding noreferrer implements noopener for IE and also prevents the referer (sic) header from being sent to the server for the link. So this is an incremental improvement to what we have. I don't like loosing the referer header as that could be useful to the destination web site. But IE won't die. This is as easy as finding all instances of noopener and adding noreferrer. ---------- components: Web interface keywords: Effort-Low messages: 6941 nosy: rouilj severity: normal status: new title: Add norefererer to link representation type: security versions: devel _________________________________________________ Roundup tracker <[email protected]> <https://issues.roundup-tracker.org/issue2551088> _________________________________________________
