2,764 PointsDo you have to use "normalize.css" (or something similar) each time you're making a website?
I just want to know if it's something we're doing in this course only so we can understand CSS better or a general practice that is good to get into.

I'd imagine if you use a framework like bootstrap or foundation, the normalization is included by default so you wouldn't need an additional normalize.css file.
