So you just want the website to load and then not be functional? I don’t think there is any way to disable the webviewer. Can you provide the content in another way such as an image of the web page or API data?

Hello @polatmuhammetemir05s and welcome to the community! 👋  
Unfortunately, is not possible for Thunkable to prevent navigation on a website. You could make a post on #Feature Requests about it.

The website has a search bar, the user asks a question in that search bar and receives an answer. I want the user to not leave that page and not be able to move to another page even if he clicks on the links. For example, when the “share” button in the photo is clicked, the share section appears. I do not want that to happen.

In Thunkable, you would either need to pass the search term to an API or a Javascript script to do what you want but there’s not a way to display a website and only have it be active part of the time.
