Do I always use 'normalize.css'?

Is it a good habit to use 'normalize.css' for every website that I create?

Its a good practice to remove some default styles that comes with the browsers.it will help your design cohesive great on other browsers[IE,opera,Firefox,Safari,Chrome].

You can use CSS reset, you can find it on meyerweb And as for your question no, you don't need to always use normalize or css reset in your projects. Hope that helps. Mike.

Normalize.css is just a style sheet that helps a site render as close as possble what you intent in each browser. It isn't mandatory but it might help with compatibility issues. I have never used it.

I typically don't use it but it's a good idea to use it, regardless. I know that Bootstrap includes normalize.css so if you're using Bootstrap, you're using normalize.css.
