Referer policy:
For webs' top frame (i.e. clicking link, navigating, redirecting etc.): 1). If origin and target url have same domain, allow trimmed referer 2). If origin and target url have different domain, no referer
For in-page resources (images, videos, js, css etc.), allow trimmed referer (this is the key to not break most webs, also a balance between privacy and experience)
