Hi all I found this recently and thought I would share.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1999/

This extension allows you to right-click a link and open it without sending a referrer - those annoying links you have to copy and paste are now only one click away :)

Very handy for opening pic links that would otherwise need to be c&p.

However, visiting TGPs with no ref might not be a good idea or a bad idea... since no ref traffic cannot be used to trade traffic the webmaster might sent you 100% to galleries or then 100% to a dialer. Wink

That makes sense and I am interested to learn more of this if only to protect from bad things. As example if I was to go to the tgp direct without coming from another site would that also pass no refer and give the same result?

The main use I see for this extension is to quickly go right click menu -> "open link with no referer" when I open a link I think must be c+p as I am very lazy :) I would not want to cause problems for people because they use the extension I suggest :(
