Is it a way to remove or hide http referer information in request header? i want to remove http referrer information of users who goes to other site from my site using a script possibly in javascript python or django

example:

Host    slogout.espncricinfo.com
User-Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0    
Accept  text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8    
Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5    
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate    
Accept-Charset  ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7    
Connection  keep-alive
Referer http://slogout.espncricinfo.com/index.php?page=index&level=login

<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer"/>

If you put above code on your page all outgoing links (user clicks) will not send referrer information

I see no answer mentioning that there is also an HTTP resonse header that sets the policy, Referrer-Policy. Here's how to set it in Apache:

Header add Referrer-Policy "no-referrer"

Or perhaps, weaker but still safe option for sending referrer when accessing links leading only to the same site:

Header add Referrer-Policy "same-origin"
