Screencast showing requests and missing referer header

When opening links in a new tab, the Referer header is not sent.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Go to https://mskelton.github.io/chromium-bug
2. Right click on GitHub link
3. Click Open Link in New Tab
4. Notice that the Referer header is missing in the request

This occurs both for cmd+click and right click -> Open in New Tab and is the case for both same origin and cross origin links.
