u see every site u visit, and then click on a link, to go to another, the new site u just visited now knows what site u last visited, if u search via a search engine, they know ur previous visits, :( and what u maybe were searching for.
Some sites require it, that's why i posted this because I found this great tool that lets u disable referers and allow/and forget referers for sites, forge meaning it will send a referer but it will only show that sites url as the last visited link. Also included is a test i set up
go here and download it: javascript required - noscript users
http://www.stardrifter.org/refcontrol/
if u get an error on downloading, close out the add-on box, right click the download link and save it to ur desktop, next press ctrl + o on ur keyboard, find the .xpi and install it from there, restart.
in the url bar type:
about:config
find these two & do the following:
network.http.sendRefererHeader > double click the 2 and change it to 0 then click ok
&
network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer > double click true to false
okay if u want more info on what each does - look under the picture at the refcontrol program/add-on main site
to test
I was wondering why images/screenshots didn't download :( even tho i knew the images is from the main site no adblock probs either,
so after forging a refer with this program, it now shows up - and the site i'm going to send u to which is site 2, said that's it's good on refer - it don't send green smiley means ur alright...
Site1: with refering turned off only visit (yes this is a recent game i downloading for my palm)
http://www.freewarepalm.com/games/hangman.shtml
u should see no screenshot of the program :(
2.)right-click anywhere on the site and find Refcontrol options for this site,
bubble forge and click ok
Refresh the freewarepalm page, now the image should show up
Site2: http://www.pcflank.com/browser_test1.htm
click start test, then click continue after veryifing ur ip is correct
Now under cookies - u may see a :( sad face - that means that ur allowing globally cookies to be randomly stored on ur computer - if u see a happy face - that means that ur allowing on a site per site basis and u haven't allowed pcflank - no need except for the forums of course, but we are concerned with
Referrer check
u chould see a smiley face - meaning that u have NOT sent any referers and ur privacy is protected even tho u allowed freewarepalm to see a referrel and u used forge - refcontrol works to control which sites see a refer or which ones u customized and or chosen to send, if not a trusted site then they see nothing of what previous sites u visited.
adding: oh and if u want u can remove the freewarepalm site :)
