Allow the removal of HTTP referer even when landing on a whitelisted hostname

[gorhill]

"Remove third-party HTTP referer information for non-whitelisted hostname"

should be renamed

"Remove third-party HTTP referer information:"

And provide a choice of two flavors:

• Strict: Remove HTTP referer if source and destination are not on the same domain
• Loose: Remove HTTP referer if source and destination are not on the same domain AND if destination is not whitelisted.

Currently only the "loose" mode is available.

Thought?

Good idea.

Yes, it's a good idea. However, my lessons learned from extensions like RefControl (Firefox) and Referer Control (Chrome) tell me that you need to define exceptions for some sites (at least when using the strict flavour). Otherwise they will break. I had already suggested somewhere else to add that functionality to the context menu.
