When opening someone's Facebook profile page, I often see fref=uri
at the end of their URL, e.g. mine is https://facebook.com/namgivu?fref=uri
Without such fref
suffix, I can go to the same profile page.
What does fref=uri
mean then?

It looks to be a referrer for Facebook's analytics.
For example:
fref=ts
on the end of the URL means that the page was linked from a "Top Search". Basically the user was sent there from a search engine result.fref=nf
means that the user arrived from their news feed.I'm thinking that
fref=uri
means that the user arrived from an external site.
