Information leak via referer #7

Copy link

When I send URLA from phone to 
http://send-to-computer.appspot.com/me?browser=NNNNNNN and I use browser click 
the link.
The owner of URLA will know I am from 
http://send-to-computer.appspot.com/me?browser=NNNNNNN via http referer.

The owner may visit the url by accident and make me missed another url I send. 
He may even know what web sites I visit.

Possible solution:
/me?browser=NNNNNNN redirect to /redirect?url=URLA and redirect again to URLA.
Then the owner of URLA will only know I am from /redirect.

Maybe there are other solutions, I don't know...
