According to Can I use..., IE and Edge only supports the older never & Co. values. So with this change, IE/Edge users would probably start sending the referrer. This Stack Overflow answer says that unknown values are ignored and the last known value is used, so having two <meta> tags with never (until even the shittiest browsers implement the new spec) and no-referrer should work. I can't test that though.

I can't test it either unfortunately, but if that's the case we should either do that or leave it at never.

Since the January release of Edge 79, the browser is based on Chromium and therefore also supports the new spec. But overall, according to Can I Use, 5.42 % of users would still only support the old one (mostly IE 11 and old Edge versions). It would be useful to have some statistics what browsers are used to access our dashboard, but we don't collect anything like that currently.
