Ref T4340. Some browsers respect this header and referrers are a plague upon the earth.

Also, upgrade "never" to the more modern value "no-referrer".

In Safari, Firefox and Chrome, disabled rel="noreferrer" on links and generated a normal link to an external site. Then clicked it and checked if a referrer was sent.

• Safari respects meta only, but "no-referrer" is fine.
• Firefox respects both (either the header or meta tag are individually sufficient to stop referrers).
• Chrome respects both (same as Firefox).
