This article is about removing all fixed elements on a page. Not only do other elements catch strays, fixed isn't the industry standard way of making sticky headers in 2025!

Fixed isn't the industry standard way of making sticky headers in 2025

What is? Flexbox? Or something else?

(Not a FE dev, though I'm vaguely conversant in CSS, mostly by using it to fix site annoyances on my own via stylesheet management extensions such as Stylus.)

There's `position: sticky` now for headers. It has better ergonomics than fixed and it's nice than it's supported by all modern browsers.

It's a huge improvement for sticky sidebars that are only scroll within their parent element. For example, it's what I use on this page: https://allaboutberlin.com/guides/public-transit
