Dear Friend,

The reason why external websites such as:
1. youtube.com
2. google.com
3. stackoverflow.com etc.

are not loading in your frame, is because they are intentionally leveraging some sort of Frame Killer.

For your reference and suggested reading:
Framekiller - Wikipedia[^]
Busting a tough FRAME killer
[^]

html - iframe and external website - Stack Overflow[^]

I hope this resolves your problem. Accept this as your solution if it helps.

Regards
Varun

That may have been true 10 years ago. Today, it's much more likely that they're using a CSP or the X-Frame-Options header to prevent their content from being loaded inside other sites.

The site you're trying to load has either set the X-Frame-Options[^] header, or has sent a content security policy (CSP) with the frame-ancestors[^] directive, both of which will instruct all modern browsers to prohibit loading the site in an <iframe>.

In the case of Yahoo, it's sending:

X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

which means only pages hosted on the yahoo.com domain can load other yahoo.com pages in an <iframe>.

This is generally done for security reasons. There is no way for an HTML page to bypass this.
