Prompt users for untrusted URL whitelisting
Dor․
Build 1546 changes the "allow untrusted URLs" setting to no longer allow all URLs on public and group public instances, and instead offers world creators the option to whitelist domains for those instance types.
A preferred alternate solution would be to instead prompt users with a notification when an untrusted URL is being used, with the options to:
- Allow this time/this instance
- Whitelist URL (allow permanently until revoked)
- Blacklist URL
This would provide users with the granularity to avoid malicious URLs without explicitly limiting the content that may be played in public/group public instances.

Just found out about this changes made in Build 1546 and this breaks existing functionality and pushes people to private instances.
I often create public instances of random worlds and watch videos from my own server(s) or watch content I stream from my PC to my own server.
I also run a purpose built server which allows me to use a single stream URL but have different content served to different people, none of the existing whitelisted services have functionality like this so I will be forced to use private instances for this now.

Hintswen what are you doing with the different streams?

I came here to post the same exact thing. Today, they released this feature. I would like to also be able to just universally whitelist and manage URLs. I think that would way much farther than the universal allow we have now.

Maybe good option for non-restricted users (aka people not affected by contents gating, or verified user once age matter be thing)
As root of issue be safety (mainly getting ready for age verify I believe) so it makes more sense having those option for verified users in the feature.

A 'Trust This Domain?' type solution might be the best course I think yeah.
