What Does Normalize CSS Do?
Some CSS properties have default values that are set by all browsers, but each browser sets a different one. To fix this problem, a Normalize CSS file can be used to give all browsers the same starting point. Each browser has its own style rules that are set by default. These rules target different elements and use different values.
Because of this, if you build your styles without a baseline, your pages are likely to look different in different browsers. This has made it clear to many developers that they need to fix bugs in their CSS. When caught this late in the development process, the code can become hard to manage and hard to figure out what’s wrong.
Normalize tries to fix this problem by focusing on the default rules from different browsers. In order to make a baseline, the Normalize file gives these rules their default values.
