A modern alternative to CSS resets
Go to file
Nicolas Gallagher 907890983e Protect root against system color schemes
System color schemes (in particular, custom themes in Windows and Linux
distros) affect Firefox, IE, and Opera. Normalizing the web site/app's
root background and text color prevents these unwanted settings from
being used. Chrome doesn't apply system-level schemes to websites.

normalize.css v2.1.0

Normalize.css is a customisable CSS file that makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards. We researched the differences between default browser styles in order to precisely target only the styles that need normalizing.

Check out the demo

Legacy browser support is available in v1

Install

Download from the project page.

Install with Bower: bower install --save normalize-css

  • Preserves useful defaults, unlike many CSS resets.
  • Normalizes styles for a wide range of elements.
  • Corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies.
  • Improves usability with subtle improvements.
  • Explains what code does using detailed comments.

How to use it

Normalize.css is intended to be used as an alternative to CSS resets.
