The **`noreferrer`** keyword for the [`rel`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel) attribute of the {{HTMLElement("a")}}, {{HTMLElement("area")}}, and {{HTMLElement("form")}} elements instructs the browser, when navigating to the target resource, to omit the {{HTTPHeader("Referer")}} header and otherwise leak no referrer information — and additionally to behave as if the [`noopener`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Link_types/noopener) keyword were also specified.
