A CSS Reset is a set of CSS rules that eliminates browser default style differences, ensuring consistent rendering across all browsers. It resets margins, paddings, font sizes, and other default styles.

What is the difference between Normalize and Hard Reset?

Normalize preserves useful browser defaults (like heading sizes) while fixing inconsistencies. Hard Reset sets everything to zero - removing all margins, paddings, and default styles, allowing you to build from scratch.

Why do I need a CSS Reset?

Different browsers apply different default styles to HTML elements. For example, buttons look different in Chrome vs Safari. CSS Reset eliminates these differences and provides a consistent baseline for cross-browser development.

What does box-sizing: border-box do?

box-sizing: border-box makes padding and border count as part of the element's total width and height. This makes layout calculations more intuitive and prevents elements from exceeding their container width when padding is added.
