Referer is an HTTP header used in browser-to-server requests. It contains the URL of the request source. When you navigate from one page to another, Referer saves the URL of the initial page. The server that hosts the destination web page often has software that parses Referer and extracts various pieces of information from it. Enabling the *Hide Referer from third-parties* option hides the current website from third-party sites by altering the HTTP header.
This feature prevents third parties from knowing what websites you visit.
