Don't think we are talking about the same thing.
I'm talking about the referrer headers.

Ok, thanks for the info.

FWIW, on Firefox I use the refcontrol addon, and I've not experienced any problems yet. If the referer domain is different to the domain of the request, it modifies the referer to be the root of the site being requested.
that's even better than the about:config option of allowing it just for clicks, not for scripts/iframes/etc. thanks
