Redact search params and fragment from referrer #3908

Commits on Mar 17, 2024

  1. Redact search params and fragment from referrer 

    In the referrer URL, the search parameters (following the `?`) and the fragment (following the `#`) might contain personal/sensitive information.

They are already dropped by Plausible server, but I think we could even make them never leave the user's device.

It could be quite frightening for a user observing network requests in their browser's dev tools, to see that sensitive information is sent to Plausible, a third party service they might have never heard of.

Observing that the search params and fragment are not being sent would be reassuring.
