Comment:

 So, what exactly is the threat here? We don't spoof referers unless you
 come from a .onion domain and go to a non .onion one. And I am not sure I
 understand the fingerprinting concern. You mean the website you are
 interacting with is recognizing you once you come back? If so, how so if
 _only_ CSS is available (moreover, tracking by first-party domain is
 currently out of scope; if that's done by identifiers like cookies then
 New Identity is your friend given that not only cookies but numerous state
 has to get cleared to separate those visits).
