I have been looking for a way to see the address's balance that doesn't belong to my own Bitcoin core wallet.

I don't like to use an external API, I have this full node and I really wonder if this is possible.

I saw this Pieter Wuille's answer: [How to get an address's balance with the bitcoin client?](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10090/how-to-get-an-addresss-balance-with-the-bitcoin-client)

But it is an old answer when Bitcoin core even didn't support addresses as watch-only.

What I can understand from his answer is I can't see this information on my Bitcoin core, but right now with Bitcoin core v0.20.1, is that still not possible?
