> While still a work in progress, Referrer Policy is now supported by all major browsers (except Internet Explorer, although it is supported by Edge, the new browser in Windows 10).

This information is at odds with Microsoft’s own status on the feature (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platfor...) which indicates that Edge does not yet support it (“in development”), and the cited source http://caniuse.com/referrer-policy which also says IE and Edge don’t support it, but that they do support an older, more restricted version of the spec.

Yeah, I have to update that part. This works in Edge (as well as FF, Chrome, Safari) to kill referrers completely:

  <meta name="referrer" content="never">

Should also note that it's possible to have fallback values (https://www.w3.org/TR/referrer-policy/#unknown-policy-values).
