Why does this posting have a rel=noreferrer tag, when others don’t?

>>ezfe+TA3
Looks like jwz links also have a "noreferrer" tag added as well.

New silent HN policy to avoid showing its users that some people don't like them.

That page doesn't include noreferrer on the article link for me.

"rel" is an attribute of several HTML tags, including the anchor tag <a> [0]. It is not something that would be visible in the URL.

The presence of this attribute instructs the client to not send the HTTP header "Referer" [1] when making a request to the target URL.

I know, I'm saying that it's not in the `rel=` on that article link on the linked page. Just noopener, which is of course included on every link.

>>judge2+gT4
It is. When I open the source, I see this:

<a href="http://www.jwz.org/blog/2011/10/eff-declares-premature-victo..." rel="noreferrer">Jwz: Google's pseudonym support "obvious bullshit"</a>

Might be that the method is different on a specific browser, but most likely you are looking in the wrong place.
