Web platform features explorer - `overflow: overlay`

Tags: css Groups: CSS

This feature is discouraged. Consider using overflow instead. For the rationale, see:

https://drafts.csswg.org/css-overflow-3/#valdef-overflow-overlay

The overflow: overlay CSS declaration is an alias to overflow: auto. Historically, it caused non-standard behavior, allowing scrollbars to overlay content without taking up layout space.
