First of all: Welcome to the forums 👋🙂

The thing is that UXP (XD’s platform for plugins) isn’t a browser and a lot of browser features aren’t fully supported. Among them are `<iframe>`'s and window locations.

Therefore, solutions depend on what you’re trying to do. If you want to include a fully functional “normal” web page, that’ll probably be difficult for now. If you need a screenshot of the website (like some other plugins), you could use an online service and then show the image. Simple information could be fetched using `fetch()` and then displayed. It really depends.

A feature request for embeddable web views (which you could vote for) is [Embedded webview](http://forums.creativeclouddeveloper.com/t/embedded-webview/773).

I hope this helps (although it’s probably not the answer you were hoping for),  
Happy Coding,  
Pablo
