My experience reading this article was being confused about why someone is listing all the drawbacks with i-frames - even obscure drawbacks that most people would not ever encounter. Then I noticed it’s just an Ad for their product.

I think this kind of blog post should be illegal - there needs to be a disclosure at the beginning, ie, this is informative but it’s also an advertisement. Then I would know to not read any further.

I-frames are actually pretty useful tools. They’re the only way to allow HTML content from another site to exist on your site without trusting or sanitizing it. They actually work pretty well for dashboards.

They come with some serious drawbacks, most notably, not being able to edit the content of the iframe.

I generally prefer using an API or a npm module so I can customize the content of the iframe.
