I haven’t worked with HTML since 1999; I hate that I’m just now finding out that iframes are somehow still a thing in the modern world. What the actual fuck. Why?

Yeah i don’t know why, probably exactly because is such a neglected feature that it offers workarounds for some limitations, like in the case of cookie-related patterns.

HTML5 can store HTML files inside of HTML files, allowing you to do what an iframe does but with a static (or updated when the page refreshes or whatever) html page

AJAX also has something that can replace iframes

But iframes continue to exist likely for legacy and how easy it is to get a basic page running using them for home projects
