Hi Adham,

This is the answer from another student's question I provided:

Normalize.css is used to "normalize" the style of a website across different browsers. As each browser has its own default settings, sometimes things can look very different on different browsers. Normalize is different from CSS Reset, which just eliminates any and all styles. Normalize makes things uniform across browsers and only affects the styles that need 'normalizing.'

Hope that makes some sense. Keep Coding!

Thanks a lot for the fast answer, but should I save it at my computer and use it at any design project in the future ?

Thanks :)

Personally, I believe it is a good idea to include it in every project/site, because it lessens the chance your site will show up weird on a different browser. You can download the normalize.css file from github to include in your sites.
