Some external websites can't be framed due to the source code of the website itself. See https://medium.com/@kesen.somar.99/securing-your-website-how-to-disable-iframes-to-prevent-click-hijacking-attacks-98cd2004720f

Because of this, we disable all external websites by default. You can use Simple Browser in core VS Code (which is built into the editor) to preview external websites, but it still has the limitation mention above.
