1600s revamp
- no need to enforce defaults (except the second cross-origin) = less items in prefs and about:support - simplify header info - add in that you need an extension for real control: i.e for most people, e.g I use uMatrix and have never can to whitelist anything. Kolanich has been on settings of 2 for years and only found one broken site: these are anecdotal and don;t reflect the real world: which is why the settings are pretty relaxed - move the broken info out of header and onto the pref in a setup tag - reference: https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/716#issuecomment-488527274 - thanks Kolanich and 🐈

/*** [SECTION 1600]: HEADERS / REFERERS
|
||||
Only *cross domain* referers need controlling and XOriginPolicy (1603) is perfect for that. Thus we enforce
|
||||
the default values for 1601, 1602, 1605 and 1606 to minimize breakage, and only tweak 1603 and 1604.
|
||||
|
||||
Our default settings provide the best balance between protection and amount of breakage.
|
||||
To harden it a bit more you can set XOriginPolicy (1603) to 2 (+ optionally 1604 to 1 or 2).
|
||||
To fix broken sites (including your modem/router), temporarily set XOriginPolicy=0 and XOriginTrimmingPolicy=2 in about:config,
|
||||
use the site and then change the values back. If you visit those sites regularly (e.g. vimeo), use an extension.
|
||||
|
||||
Only *cross domain* referers need controlling: leave 1601, 1602, 1605 and 1606 alone
|

|
||||
harden it a bit: set XOriginPolicy (1603) to 1 (as per the settings below)
|
||||
harden it a bit more: set XOriginPolicy (1603) to 2 (and optionally 1604 to 1 or 2), expect breakage
|
||||

|
||||
If you want any REAL control over referers and breakage, then use an extension. Either:
|
||||
uMatrix: limited by scope, all requests are spoofed or not-spoofed
|
||||
Smart Referrer: granular with source<->destination, whitelists
