-### Cross-origin referer
-Do not send a [referer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referer) when navigating to a different site (e.g., `google.com` → `facebook.com`).
-
-For subresources, the referer will only be sent to subdomains (e.g., `a.example.com` → `b.example.com`).
-
-:warning: This will break Instagram embeds, Bing login, `MangaPill.com`, and some images/videos.
-
-Most navigational "tracking" is harmless (i.e., the same for everyone) and effectively blocking cross-site referers just breaks a lot of sites.

### Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting is a high [threat model](https://thenewoil.org/en/guides/prologue/threatmodel/) issue that is only [addressed](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.3-Overrides-%5BTo-RFP-or-Not%5D#-fingerprinting) reasonably by Tor.[1](https://youtu.be/5NrbdO4yWek?t=4334) Please use the [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org) if your context calls for **anonymity** and not just reasonable **privacy**.^[*what's the difference?*](https://thenewoil.org/en/guides/prologue/secprivanon/)
