I know position: absolute will pop an element from the flow and it stops interacting with its neighbors.
What other ways are there to achieve this?

For the sake of completeness: The float property removes a element from the flow of the HTML too, e.g. Show activity on this post. Floating it will reorganise the flow but position: absolute is the only way to completely remove it from the flow of the document.
Absolutely positioned elements are removed entirely from the document flow. That means they have no effect at all on their parent element or on the elements that occur after them in the source code. An absolutely positioned element will therefore overlap other content unless you take action to prevent it.
You cannot remove an element from the DOM tree using CSS. You can only prevent it from being rendered in the layout with display: none ; doing so does not prevent it from responding to events or cause it to be ignored by CSS selectors such as + and :nth-child() .
When elements are positioned, they can overlap other elements. The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed in front of, or behind, the others).
One trick that makes position:absolute more palatable to me is to make its parent position:relative. Then the child will be 'absolute' relative to the position of the parent.
