Don't think we are talking about the same thing.

I'm talking about the referrer headers.

It used to have an option. Then they moved it to a command line[1]. now they removed it completely!

Disabling referrer header kills some google features in adwords and analytics. So they have more than enough reason to kill it first.

Ok, thanks for the info.

If anyone else is bugged by the lack of control on your referrer headers, star this http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=84177

For the address bar, i had no luck finding a bug. anyone?

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
