re: privacy … Currently there is a config option to prevent the server from trying to fetch an opengraph preview:

URL Preview is a Privacy Leak (and a major waste of screen space in most cases)

**Describe the bug** When user enters a URL into a Markdown file, a preview is …automatically fetched and displayed under the URL. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Go to files section 2. Create new text file 3. name it something.md 4. type in some text and a URL 5. press enter after the URL 6. watch your screen being used to display something you do not want/need to see **Expected behavior** - my preference: leave my text alone - optional: have a global setting (per server instance) disabled by default, to show URL previews. - nicer optional: have a per-user setting, still disabled by default - kind of good: a per-document setting, such as interpreted meta-data at the start of the document as used by a few smart editors to set things like tab widht. still disabled by default - wizard: automatically disable when on metered/slow bandwidth. But still, disabled by default **Client details:** - OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Browser: Firefox - Version: 107 - Device: desktop **Text app version:** 3.6.0 **Operating system:** Ubuntu 22.04 **Web server:** nginx **Database:** MariaDB 10.5.18 **PHP version:** 8.1.13 **Nextcloud version:** 25.0.2

**Describe the bug** It's possible to turn off the link preview by setting `ref…erence_opengraph` to false. See https://github.com/nextcloud/text/issues/3588#issuecomment-1358355490. When this is done text will still attempt to load link previews leading to an endless loading spinner. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Set `reference_opengraph` to false in your server config. 2. Open a text file and insert a link. 3. See the spinning wheel that will never stop. **Expected behavior** If link preview is turned off text should neither attempt to fetch it nor include a loading spinner.
