This seems unnecessary, and the equivalent behaviour was removed for other downloads in this PR.

Sorry for the delay, due to the refactoring of using SimplePie (big mess!) #4374
Our SimplePie fork is now maintained on https://github.com/FreshRSS/simplepie so feel free to resubmit there, or even better upstream https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie (but the upstream repo is very slow).
Regarding this PR, it would be nice to test with plenty of feeds. We have seen a bunch, which are sensitive to user-agent, cookies, and what not, which should in principle not be needed. I have not tested specifically for Referer recently though, but I would not be surprised to break some feeds by removing it.
