How to disable CryptPad *You are about to leave: cryptpad.org* prompt when clicking on a link?
Mar 29, 10:39pm

The "You are about to leave: cryptpad.org" prompt you see when clicking a link on CryptPad is typically a security feature implemented by your browser to warn you when you’re leaving the current site. This is not something you can disable directly within CryptPad itself, as it’s controlled by your browser’s settings.

How to Disable This Prompt (Browser-Specific)

The exact steps depend on your web browser. Here’s how to do it in the most common browsers:


Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based)

  1. Type in the address bar:
    text
    chrome://flags/#block-external-referrer
    or
    text
    edge://flags/#block-external-referrer
  2. Find the flag:
    • Search for "External referrer blocking" or "Block external referrers."
  3. Set it to "Disabled".
  4. Restart your browser for changes to take effect.

Mozilla Firefox

Firefox does not have a direct flag to disable this prompt, but you can try:

  1. Type in the address bar:
    text
    about:config
  2. Search for:
    text
    network.http.referer.spoofSource
  3. Set it to true (this may help in some cases).
  4. Restart Firefox.

Safari (macOS)

  1. Go to Safari > Settings > Privacy.
  2. Uncheck "Prevent cross-site tracking" (this may reduce referrer-related prompts).

Important Note

  • These warnings are in place for security reasons. Disabling them may expose you to phishing or malicious sites.
  • CryptPad itself does not control this warning; it’s a browser feature.
