How can you avoid revealing the application through the `Origin` header?

The request is sent by the browser, not the webapp itself (ie. using xhr or fetch) so it doesn't have headers like "Origin" added.
Ha! Thank you, I misunderstood who was behind this proposal but since it's W3C it's something that would directly be implemented by the browser itself.
