When you add a youtube link to a page for example, it's displayed in the widget connector and upon loading the page multiple external hosts are connected to automatically without any confirmation from the user.

With youtube as an example the following external hosts connect, plus potentially more:

• doubleclick.net
• googleads.g.doubleclick.net
• static.doubleclick.net
• ggpht.com
• google.com
• gstatic.com
• youtube.com
• ytimg.com

For various reasons including GDPR environments, it would be useful to be able to disable any loading of external hosts on page load without user interaction.

Suggestion

Add an option to disable loading any external source without interaction and just include a thumbnail or placeholder instead.
