When should you use iframe sandboxing?

Iframe sandboxing is a powerful feature for web developers that enhances security by restricting the capabilities of iframes. It is particularly useful in the following scenarios:

• Embedding untrusted content: When you want to display content from external sources, sandboxing can help prevent potential malicious activities.
• Third-party integrations: If you're integrating with third-party applications or services, sandboxing can limit their access to your site’s resources.
• Secure sandboxed environments: For apps that require isolation to protect user data, sandboxing provides a secure way to run potentially hazardous actions.
• Testing features: When testing new features, you can use sandboxed iframes to contain and safely manage experimental functionalities without affecting the main application.
