@5t3ph Note that Windows users won't see much difference on some of the text examples like `text-wrap: pretty;` due to different font.

@5t3ph great tips! I keep using more and more of the newer properties as support grows.

@5t3ph The scroll margin/padding one is a true life saver. We have a sticky header and people have been complaining the whole time that anchor links “scroll too far” and keep filing bugs for it.

I’ve refused to build a JS implementation to work around that and this will finally get things working right 🎉

@5t3ph Shared this with my team and the thing everyone is excited about is the overscroll.

@5t3ph either no one ever told me about `object-fit: scale-down`, or I'd forgotten about it; in either case I am furious.

Thank you!

> Important: This property only has an effect when the user’s system settings are not for “overlay” scrollbars, as in the default for Mac OS, where the scrollbar only appears as an overlay on content that is actively being scrolled.

As far as I know (I might be wrong), the default setting is "Automatically based on mouse or trackpad", not "When scrolling". With the "Automatic" setting, when you connect a mouse, which doesn't have touch scrolling, the scrollbars should appear. At least, that's how it works on my machine.

@5t3ph thank you for writing this! `color-scheme` in particular was a revelation to me, and quite timely too - I appreciate you explicitly mentioning form controls; that resonated (thus prepitaph.org/snippets/css-col)
