There may be some websites redirection for which you don’t want this feature enabled. For example, if your site is deployed at a URL like decidim.example.org and you want every example.org URLs to omit this alert message, you can configure this by adding your URL, and as many as you want, in the Allowed external domains page.

To do so, click the "Add to allowed list" button and enter the website URL you want to authorize.
