Browser Specificity

During this lesson, I continually ran in to the same problem. When previewing, my profile picture would appear in the upper right hand corner of the browser window, off screen. I asked my dad and he tried previewing the page in safari (I was working in Firefox) and the image appeared in the middle of the screen like it should have. my question is, how does the browser affect the appearance of the product.

Simply put, each browser has its own rendering engine, hence the differences. Normally, to filter out these kind of differences, i'll usually use normalize.css to do a reset for certain elements which may have a certain property added to it by the browser.
