(As I asked in the other peer comment, but am curious about your reaction as well) Would it change your mind if the OP were doing it as a form of guerrilla advertising for those sites?

Okay so sending graphic/abusive porn in place of referrer tags to every website you visit is just such a disgusting, fucked up thing to do. Like, if you do this you're objectively a bad person.

If you're doing "guerrilla advertising for those sites" - I just think you're a wanker. It's ineffective and silly.

Not "every website you visit". Every website you visit where the developers chosen to use messy URLs for tracking.

Okay I don't think either of these are really that bad but in no world can you justify a bad action by saying "they made URL's ugly". No.
