Hi everyone. I decided to implement the Referrer-Policy header for rack-protection. It's a really simple header with just a string value, more information:
I considered making it enabled by default, since it has low risk of breaking the web, but I want your opinion first.
Worth noting is that the default value I picked, "strict-origin-when-cross-origin", does not work in Chrome at the moment. I picked it as it will be the most sensible default in the future, especially if this is enabled by default. See this bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=627968
