I find it insane that everybody is seemingly okay with the fact that websites get to know what a user was browsing before landing on their site. And that there's no straightforward way to disable this behavior without the use of extensions.

Highly recommend installing https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smart-referer

Hmm, the addon description says "has been largely superseeded by better browser defaults"
huh, no idea why it would say that, the only sane default is when referrer is not leaked to websites at all.
