Fix: all sites with forged referrers

Hi,

due to the "you have just uploaded an image, haven't you?" check, I cannot use this script anymore. The reason being that I use RefControl to forge referrers to the base URL on all sites.

Could this check be removed or tweaked? Thanks!

Hmmm, such extensions usually warn that altering your referrer may break websites for you, this is what happened.

But I believe you can tweak it by allowing referrer to be sent to the same website (such extensions usually have this important option) - this won't affect your privacy pretty much at all - cuz only website you're currently on would see full referrers of its own website (eg. google.com would know you visited it from google.com/somepage, but if you visit it from another website - it wouldn't know which one), setting refcontrol another way barely makes any sense.
