Help me remove referer for opera (chrome, safari).
The problem for IE and Mozilla has desided.
It is impossible that the administrations other sites didn't see what users turning from my site.

Sorry for bad English, I have only been studying.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld betal.

Could you explain more? I'm not clear what you're trying to do exactly.

Where do you want the referrers removed from, your logs or the logs of sites you visit?

If I understand correctly, you don't want visitors who click on your site's external links to show your site as the referer to the serfer at the destination site. Have I got that right?

If that is yuour request, then two ideas come to mind that you can experiment with (there may be others).

1. Serve your entire website only with the https: protocol. Typically if you go from an https page to an http page, referer data is not sent in the browser header.

2. Make all your external links in Flash, which last I knwe of did not send referer information.

Hello all :)

Yes, this is correct :)

Thanks, it works :)

2. Make all your external links in Flash, which last I knwe of did not send referer information.

I also thought about it... But I don't know how to do it ):

Thank you.
Best regards, Vitaliy.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld betal :) You can try linking via an intermediate page (for example a redirect script) which does a zero-second meta refresh to the linked page.

I have done so, but opera sends referer :(
I tried via JavaScript, and meta refresh
