**Solution** : It’s best to customize your Discourse instance by adding the following snippet before `</head>` , which is at least supported by current versions of Chrome and Firefox (but not e.g. in IE 11).

```html
<meta name="referrer" content="never" />

```

The supported values and corresponding referrers being sent (taking this topic as an example) are:

- _unsafe-URL_ (default) = [How to anonymize your links in Discourse?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-anonymize-your-links-in-discourse/25185)
- **_never_ = (no referrer)**
- _origin_ = [https://meta.discourse.org/](https://meta.discourse.org/)
- _no-referrer-when-downgrade_ = [https://meta.discourse.org/](https://meta.discourse.org/) (but only if destination is a https:// site)
- _origin-when-crossorigin_ = [How to anonymize your links in Discourse?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-anonymize-your-links-in-discourse/25185) for destinations on [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) and [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org) for other origins)
