   // HTTP. This is the default behavior of URLRequest, corresponding to
   // CLEAR_REFERRER_ON_TRANSITION_FROM_SECURE_TO_INSECURE. Alternatively, the
-  // referrer policy can be set to never change the referrer header. This
-  // behavior corresponds to NEVER_CLEAR_REFERRER. Embedders will want to use
-  // NEVER_CLEAR_REFERRER when implementing the meta-referrer support
-  // (http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Meta_referrer) and sending requests with a
-  // non-default referrer policy. Only the default referrer policy requires
-  // the referrer to be cleared on transitions from HTTPS to HTTP.
