scroll-padding
Sets the padding (inner offset) of a scroll container. It ensures that when elements snap or are scrolled into view, they stay a certain distance away from the edges of the container.
Quick example
html {
scroll-padding-top: 4rem;
scroll-behavior: smooth;
/* ensures all anchor-link navigations stop 4rem before the target element */
