I support this a lot

Support for this block:

go to url [http://google.com] :: sensing

Maybe instead of this:

go to URL [google.com] :: sensing

It could be this:

go to URL [google.com v] :: sensing

where you could choose a URL from a list that has been approved by the Scratch Team.

this is not the suggestion, please read over the OP carefully.

the suggestion is add a confirmation box saying “this link is not on the scratch.mit.edu domain. are you sure you want to leave?”

I personally support for all the reasons stated in the first five posts on this topic.

Support, on the condition that trusted sites such as YouTube are also accepted.

but then people could link to inappropriate videos,

anyway, semi support,

This isn't really important to Scratch, but I do like this suggestion

That would be cool!

Did you notice the gray tips box ever? I did.

Why do you support? Please be more descriptive.

Support. Perhaps this could be added in the java-script Scratch 3.0.

No support You can use hacked blocks to add a non scratch link.

I am 134% sure that it's a duplicate from an old post, but I can't find it.
Anyway,I support for the block:

go to url scratch.mit.edu/[discuss]::sensing

but just if it asks for confirmation. Otherwise it can lead to spam.

Please be constructive and explain why you support instead of just saying support.

I really think there will be safety issues even if there was a confirmation because (lol, when I was cringe back last year, I really included something this inappropriate..? removed by Nammy 2020) and also harms children. I do support for this though:

No Support. Scratch is targeted towards young children who might get curious.

The suggestion said that you could only link to the Scratch website.

Yup. I should suggest here that people should read the OP a lot better than they usually do (I realized this could be offensive and could be interpreted as gossip but a lot of people do this)

I think the URL block should only work for Scratch's own sites, like the Scratch Wiki or the forums or a profile page, just stuff inside Scratch.
