Ah, I think the issue is default Referrer-Policy on different browsers. Most browsers now default to "strict-origin-when-cross-origin", so only the origin (home page) is sent as a referrer. To ensure a full referrer is always sent, you can add a "referrerpolicy" attribute to the link. For example: <a href="https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer" referrerpolicy="no-referrer-when-downgrade"> Validate </a> Cheers - Chuck
