Did you know that every time you click through to a new webpage, you’re voluntarily telling that new webpage where you came from? This isn’t a trick by the NSA, its just the way the web works. As most people know, whenever you click a hyperlink, the browser sends a request to the resource on the other end of the link. What most people don’t realize is that by default the request contains the referrer field, which indicates the page where the user clicked the link.
