What is a Noreferrer?

Noreferrer is an attribute that is used to prevent the browser from sending the URL of the website to the destination website when the browser link is clicked. It is specifically an attribute of HTML. This means that the site that is being linked will not get any information about where the user has come from.

A noreferrer is very important to keep up privacy and security. It stops the sharing of referral information that can contain identity details and other sensitive data. It is used when the website owner wants to keep the browsing history private.
