In CSS, we can develop” stacking contexts”where elements are aesthetically placed
one on top of the next in a three-dimensional sense that produces the perception
of depth. Stacking contexts are extremely helpful, but they’re likewise widely misconstrued
and often mistakenly created, leading to a variety of layout problems that can be
tricky to solve.  [Source](https://smashingmagazine.com/2026/01/unstacking-css-stacking-contexts/)
