What is the difference between using reset in the main.css instead of a separate normalize.css?

Courses Plus Student 21,263 PointsReset.css will remove all the default styling applied by the browser to give you a blank canvas where as normalize is a base stylesheet meaning its the starting point for your website styles and it styles the default elements to be consistent across the browsers.

19,315 PointsReset.css will reset every single pre defined styles that the browser will give you like margin, padding, font styles and so on. Normalize.css will not reset ever single pre defined styles that the browser provides, it will leave some of the more useful styles like some font styles margins and line height.

486 Pointssorry this question just came to me at this point. It may not be in the correct point in the program. I am used to coding html and css, but this course has shown me better ways to do stuff.
