I'm tired of complaining to companies about microtargeting on their websites or security failings like leaking reset passwords.
There's a serious knowledge gap between how businesses think the web works and how it actually does and referer is a serious problem.
Mozilla seem to want to teach people how to write bad websites first that adopt anchor or image tags without explaining what the referer does, only to leave it as a note later in the page that they need to read up elsewhere to find out about it.
Essentially, Firefox (and other browsers) aren't designed for privacy and I wouldn't mind that so much if they could be open and upfront in teaching developers that problem... The world is full of flaws and sometimes we need "wet floor" signs before we take a step, not afterwards.
Can someone else take it from here.
Sadly, they removed this too. <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/img$compare?locale=en-US&to=1419222&from=1419039" rel="nofollow">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/im...</a><p>To whoever restored the anchor element doc, thanks, I hope it stays there or they suggest a better alternative.
