This behavior is inconsistent with all other major browsers. To reproduce, paste this into a webpage: <a href="?one=1">with query string</a><br/> <script>document.write("referrer: "+document.referrer)</script><br/> <button onclick="location.reload(true)">reload</button><br/> 1) load this page 2) click on "with query string" 3) notice that the URL now contains the query string, while the referrer does not 4) click the "reload" button 5) notice that the referrer now contains the query string, which it shouldn't (just follow the same steps on any non-WebKit browser) I set the priority to P2 because this bug (apart from being a problem for a website I work for) should be really easy to fix. 790512 1 w.t 2012-12-13 04:56:21 -0800 sorry, document.reload() is to be replaced with location.reload() in the first comment.
