FWIW they should be configurable in your browser, either directly or with a plug-in.

The post makes a pretty reasonable argument as to why it’s a good idea.

Yeah, browser vendors think the same thing, since they are part of the commercial web. Anyway, at minimum, sending referer should be opt-in rather than opt-out.

According to ths post it will be opt-in, on the instance side.

So smaller instances where there-might be risks associated will be opted out by default, while large instances that might want the attention and where individual users stand out less can opt in.
