Is there a way to globally disable link previews? They aren’t useful and often lead to an incorrect auto-generated title.

I see some previous threads on the topic, like:

- [Disable Link Preview](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-link-preview/47405/)
- [Disable link preview feature?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-link-preview-feature/118808/)

This is especially an issue for us when I try to paste multiple links to the same site but with different anchor bookmarks (like page#section1, page#section2) etc.

I see in one of the threads there is an option to disable something called a “onebox”. I’m not sure what that means; is that the same thing as a link preview? Is there any side effect from disabling that altogether (max one box per post = 0), or would it affect other “oneboxes” elsewhere in the site too?
