Description:

You can customize the appearance of scrollbars in modern browsers using the ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>CSS Scrollbar Styling Example</title>
  <style>
    /* Style the scrollbar track and thumb */
    ::-webkit-scrollbar {
      width: 10px;
    }
    ::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
      background-color: #f1f1f1;
    }
    ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
      background-color: #888;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div style="height: 300px; overflow-y: auto;">
    <!-- Add long content to enable scrollbar -->
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...</p>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

In this example, we use the ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element to style the scrollbar in WebKit-based browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari). The ::-webkit-scrollbar allows you to customize the scrollbar's width and appearance. ::-webkit-scrollbar-track styles the track (the background area behind the thumb), and ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb styles the thumb (the draggable scrolling handle).
