normalize.css is a small CSS stylesheet that makes browsers render HTML elements more consistently and in line with modern standards. It is a widely adopted alternative to traditional CSS resets, preserving useful defaults while fixing bugs and browser inconsistencies.
Use cases
- make my website look the same in all browsers
- reset default browser styles for a new project
- fix inconsistent styling of form inputs across browsers
- normalize html5 element rendering
- replace a css reset with something less aggressive
- baseline stylesheet for a css framework or boilerplate
When to choose
- you want consistent cross-browser rendering without stripping all default styles
- you are building a site or framework from scratch and need a solid style baseline
- you want a tiny, well-documented, dependency-free stylesheet
When to avoid
- you use a modern CSS framework that already includes a reset or preflight
- you need a full utility or component framework rather than a style baseline
- you require support for very old browsers like IE9 or earlier
