Add noreferrer to rendered links (!396) · Merge requests · Soapbox / Soapbox

Alex Gleason requested to merge noreferrer into develop Dec 09, 2020

This MR adds rel="noreferrer" to links. It prevents the browser from sending the Referrer HTTP header to the external site. This is better for user privacy, but with the trade-off that it could slow down awareness of the Fediverse.
