There’s no such thing as a CSS reset

CSS resets are a technique nearly as long lived as the modern CSS era itself, stretching all the way from the CSS Zen Garden days to inclusion in mass-market current-day tools like Tailwind. Resets are a staple in the CSS toolkit.But here’s the thing; there’s no such thing as a CSS reset. Now, to be clear, I’m not suggesting some kind of long-running mass hallucination. I’m suggesting CSS resets don’t do what the name says. The word “reset” implies an objective default state that you’re restoring to, but the only objective default state is what browsers ship. You cannot “reset” browser styles by addition. Resets are inherently subjective, which means in practice, you are not so much resetting as you are defining default element styles for a website.
