isolation

Defines whether an element must create a new stacking context. This is useful for preventing mix-blend-mode or z-index from affecting elements outside of a specific container.

Quick example

.widget-container {
  isolation: isolate;
  /* prevents children with blend modes from bleeding into the page background */
}
