Is there a way to disable header referals in Safari?
Posted: Jul 12, 2008 2:04 PM 		 

I can do this in Firefox, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in Safari.

You'd have to use SafariStand.

I just installed it, but I don't see a setting to disable header referrals :/

You'll find it under SafariStand Setting>General; on the right-hand side of that window is a checkbox for "Block Referrer from localhost".

I found it, thanks. But when I go to sites my referral is still caught. I don't get it.

For example, let's say a site abuses services like imageshack and photobucket, normally you'd get a "site is banned from imageshack" message. But in firefox when I disable referrals and go to those sites, I can see the images just fine.
In Safari with that "block referrer" checked, I still get the "site is banned" message. :(

I can't speak to that issue, since I've never had that problem. But in any case, did you try rebooting after installing SafariStand to see if that makes any difference?
