expect this to be disabled in chrome if enough people do this. just like they disabled every single option to omit referer headers.

though referer header is directly tied to their monetization. the font thing is just a good to have to collect some data.

I thought you could disable the headers with an extension or simply by running Chrome behind the --no-referers flag. Has this changed?
