Comment (by cypherpunks):

 It looks like removing the referer spoofing feature was due to usability
 issues.

 https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#deprecate

 Here is my idea. By default, if it's a hidden service website in the
 referer, don't send it to any other domain.

 But what about a preference to enable smart referer feature for all
 websites. It would make sense to integrate/combine this feature into
 #9387. In short, it would be a good idea to simplify this slider to choose
 between "usability" or "security" by adding any other missing preferences
 like this referer spoofing.

 Please share your opinions about this idea.
