Difference between reset.css and normalize.css

reset.css and normalize.css are CSS files that improve cross-browser consistency in HTML element styling, but they use different approaches.

reset.css

reset.css removes all built-in browser styling. Standard HTML elements like headings, paragraphs, and lists will appear unstyled and look the same in every browser, providing a clean slate for further styling.

This means you have to define all the styles for HTML elements explicitly.

normalize.css

normalize.css makes built-in browser styling consistent across different browsers but does not remove them entirely. It preserves useful default styles rather than "unstyling" everything.
