I came across this article about how Gogle is beta testing creating an almost 'not provided' for the referrer information - do a search and you get to the page you click but it will not pass even the domain it came from?????? WTF - really think they have not thought it through and are jst testing what they can do and how it impacts - again is beta and not likely to be rolled out any time soon but is a little scary

Could Google's Test of Hiding Complete URLs in Chrome Become a Standard? - HotHardware
 

✨ AI Highlights

Aussiewebmaster alerts the community to Google's beta testing of a feature in Chrome that would hide full URLs and referrer information from websites, preventing even domain-level referral data from being passed through. The poster expresses concern about this privacy measure's potential impact on analytics and business intelligence, though notes it's still in early testing. The underlying frustration is that Google appears to be unilaterally experimenting with features that could significantly affect how dealers and online businesses track and understand their traffic sources.
