Initially implemented in #104, these were mostly meant to strip the Referer header. But we have long been specifying rel="noreferer" on links, which achieved the same effect without going through a questionable third-party website that usually messed up the viewed web page.

For better privacy, web browser extensions like NoScript or uBlock Origin and Tor or a VPN provider are probably much better anyway.

Closes: #612
