The rule still applies to the http:// scheme though which seems to be still valid. Are you sure this is safe to remove?
We discussed at the privacy confab and the consensus was that it made sense to remove, since the content on the http site seems to be of little value (images of websites?), the cert on the https site is invalid, and no one had any idea why it was added in the first place or why it'd be useful to send headers to the site |
@snyderp @jonathansampson brave/browser-laptop#7407 I'm not advocating that we keep it because I don't think we should disable it for every random site out there, but just for reference |
This site is semi-popular (https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/popyard.com), Do we have some criteria for what sites are worth maintaining exceptions for (ie when the privacy benefit is > the breakage cost)? |
not that I know of |
Discussed with @bridiver on Slack, short term next steps for this might be:
|
Can you find the original things that landed for browser-laptop to see if there's context on why it was added? Then we can decide from there. I think longer term we want an enhancement to the ad-block filter syntax to dictate default shield settings, and a mode that people can use for be as protective as possible without causing web-compat issues. |
@bbondy see browser-laptop issue linked above |
I'm ok removing but please post a new tracking issue which keeps track of past exceptions and associated issue links. That way if we create a mode later for be as protective as possible without breaking then we can revisit it. |
Sounds good, created tracking issue here: brave/brave-browser#390 |

We currently allow referrer headers to be set on moremorewin.net. This site seems abandoned and has a bad cert. This PR removes that domain from the exception list.
Fixes issue brave/brave-browser#327
