 I posted about this in the Alpha/Beta RC and was told to add a filter and
 given code. The original post was [https://wordpress.org/support/topic
 /lazy-load-iframes-will-break-sites-with-ads/ lazy load iframes will break
 sites with ads].

 There are ZERO non-techie site owners who can add this code.

 Native lazy-loading of iframes is going to break sites that run ads from
 3rd party agencies that have their own way of doing lazy load on them.

 We need a simple checkbox to turn this "feature" off.

 I don't consider this a feature request. I consider it a bug in WP 5.7
 that will break sites. But because my original post was closed immediately
 to comments, I opened another and was told to report it here as an
 enhancement request.

 If WP wonders why more non-techie site owners don't get involved in
 testing and reporting - this is why. We get blown off.

 do you have any idea how many site owners depend on the money they make
 from running ads on their sites to feed their families? This is not at all
 a trivial matter to my clients and followers and to ad agencies they
 partner with.

 I'm listing it as a major bug, not an enhancement or feature request.
