Hi there, I've just come across the Referrer Policy spec – pleased to see the web is moving forward with further respecting privacy, this is an area which definitely goes under Are there any plans to allow for combining values within a policy? For example, I may want the following rules: - Do not serve any Referer header in non-secure requests. - Serve just the origin when making cross-origin requests. This way I can provide users with a safe-from-MITM browsing experience, whilst providing only the basic referral information (origin only) to secure external sites, ensuring they can identified we're the ones referring but not which specific paths a given visitor has viewed. To achieve this, I could hypothetically combine `no-referrer-when-downgrade` and `origin-when-cross-origin`. Best Regards, Ryan Townsend
