What is the difference between Normalize.css and Reset CSS?

Question

I know what CSS Reset is, but recently I heard about this new thing called Normalize.css

What is the difference between Normalize.css and Reset CSS?

What is

Answer 1

The major difference is that:

• CSS resets aim to remove all built-in browser styling. Standard elements like H1-6, p, strong, em, et cetera end up looking exactly alike, having no decoration at all. You're then supposed to add all decoration yourself.

• Normalize CSS aims to make built-in browser styling consistent across browsers. Elements like H1-6 will appear bold, larger et cetera in a consistent way across browsers. You're then supposed to add only the difference in decoration your design needs.

If your design a) follows common conventions for typography et cetera, and b) Normalize.css works for your target audience, then using Normalize.CSS instead of a CSS reset will make your own CSS smaller and faster to write.
