php - Hide Referrer on click

Question

I want to hide the referrer when I click a link on my website. To understand better what I want to do: When somebody clicks a link on my website, I don't want the other website owner to know where the visitor came from.

I don't care if it's done by PHP, HTML or Javascript.

I tried with HTML refresh, javascript window.location, javascript popup, PHP header redirect, but nothing worked.

As of 2015 this is how you prevent sending the Referer header:

<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer" />

Just add this to the head section of the web page. Works both for links and for Ajax requests.
