Don't use base64 for the URL

[PaulKinlan]

Whilst it's sometimes nice to have it base64 available, it massively increases the amount of memory the component uses in the browser because it is already displaying the decoded image as well as storing a large duplicate of the image as the URL.

The preference should be to use Blob URL's that can be converted to base64 if needed via a utility function, or lazy access.

I think there should be a way enable/disable base64, i mean, in my case if i just copy and paste an image to the editor, it will generate massive base64 code as my url. But i don't want to allow that, all i need is show image if they copy paste the url, not the image.
Simply i need to restrict copy, paste the image, allowed only the copy,pate url
Anyone have idea to do that?

@ishananu I've just want to do the same thing but I also have no idea how. Anyone have idea? or at least using something different rather than using base64 for the images

I created this fork so it wont use images to base64 and will use their URL's instead.
