2023-11-11 Shock Very useful addon to control the referer header when a server block the access giving code 403. I had a big problem that I was unable to resolve playing with the html5 players templates itself. Because the referer header is forbittnen to be changed inside the player. This does the job actually well. Mo more code 403. Used in addition to the CORS Anywhere addon allow me to get control of my player.

2023-07-04 Firefox user 14362366 Fixed Pixiv not showing any pictures for me. That site has a separate domain (pximg.net) that serves all its images, and delivers a 403 Forbidden if the referrer does not contain pixiv.net. (target domain: pximg.net, origin domain: pixiv.net, keep) Had to reset network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config to 0 however, as it seemed to interfere. This plugin provides the same functionality, thankfully (any domain: remove).

I checked with Russian IP to https://2x2tv.ru/video/ankord-tv/sezon-2/ankord-tv-sezon-2-seriya-56/ with the built-in frame https://uma.media/play/embed/20a40dc4eaf94b683370cdf74d84a6c6?extUrl=https%3A%2F%2F2x2tv.ru%2Fvideo%2Fankord-tv%2Fsezon-2%2Fankord-tv-sezon-2-seriya-56%2F is everything works!
