    1. Yeah it is Possible. Instead of Adding the Above CSS in your Theme Add the Following one.

      ::-webkit-scrollbar {
      width: 12px;
      }

      ::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
      -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
      border-radius: 10px;
      }

      ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
      border-radius: 10px;
      -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
      }

      This will add a Curve (Capsule) type Webkit Scrollbar in your blogger blog.
