Thanks for the RequestPolicy pointer.

(edit) Does anyone know of a Firefox/Chrome add-on that strips referrer info from cross-site requests? That'd be the simplest way to deal with all externally hosted .js and images that double as trackers.




In Firefox, go to about:config and edit the "network.http.sendRefererHeader" integer.

2 = always send; 1 = send only to same FQDN; 0 = never send.
