## What it is
A lightweight CSS reset package that removes default user-agent styles from HTML elements using modern CSS features like `all: unset`, `revert`, and `:where()`. It preserves the `display` property and special elements such as iframe, canvas, img, svg, and video.

## Use cases
- reset default browser styles in a web project
- start a new frontend project with a clean CSS baseline
- remove user-agent stylesheet styles except display
- revert specific elements like inputs back to browser defaults
- make form controls style consistently across browsers

## When to choose
- you want a tiny, modern CSS reset using `all: unset` and `:where()`
- you need to preserve `display` and media elements like img, svg, video
- you want easy per-element reverts with `all: revert`
- your browser support targets are modern (Chrome 88+, Safari 14+, Firefox 84+)

## When to avoid
- you need to support legacy browsers that lack `all`, `:where()`, or `revert`
- you prefer a full normalize-style reset that keeps more default styling
- your project relies on default browser form-control styling
