<element class="overscroll-auto">...</element>
overscroll-contain: It is used to set the scrolling behavior to default only on the element used. Scrolling the element further after it has reached the boundary will not scroll the elements behind it. No scroll-chaining would occur in the neighboring scrolling areas.

overscroll-none: It is used to prevent scroll-chaining on all elements. The default scroll overflow behavior is also prevented.

<element class="overscroll-none">...</element>
