About noreferrer Highlighter
noreferrer Highlighter — a tiny utility for developers, SEO specialists,
and the privacy-curious.
It scans every page you visit and highlights every <a> tag carrying
rel="noreferrer" with a soft yellow background and a subtle outline.
At a glance you can see which outbound links strip the Referer header —
useful for auditing your own site, inspecting other sites, debugging
SEO issues, or just satisfying your curiosity.
✨ Features
• Highlights all links with rel="noreferrer" (including combined values
like rel="noopener noreferrer")
• Live counter shown as a badge on the toolbar icon
• One-click toggle on/off — preference is remembered
• "Jump to next link" button — smoothly scrolls through every match
with a pulse animation
• Works on dynamically loaded content (SPAs, infinite scroll) via
MutationObserver
• Zero tracking, zero analytics, zero network requests
• Lightweight: pure vanilla JS, no frameworks, no dependencies
🔒 Privacy
This extension does not collect, transmit, or store any data about you
or the pages you visit. All work happens locally in your browser.
🛠 Permissions
• "activeTab" — to read links on the page you're viewing
• "storage" — to remember your on/off preference
• host_permissions: <all_urls> — to highlight links on any site you
open (the extension never sends data anywhere)
Open source. Pull requests welcome.
