What specific section or headline is this issue about?

referrerpolicy

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

• strict-origin and strict-origin-when-same-origin are both long supported values for referrerpolicy and yet they haven't been mentioned.
• It is difficult for someone less experienced to understand what referrerpolicy does without any examples for the same.

What did you expect to see?

• Mention strict-origin and strict-origin-when-same-origin and relate them to their importance in the case of HTTPS.
• referrerpolicy is a little difficult to understand for beginners, so either there should be more examples explaining the policies as what they do or just link to Referrer Policy for comprehensive examples.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?
