As I can see now, "float" is very useful in a "<section>" (for example), but in a header to arrange nav elements, inline-block could be more comfortable, or I am wrong? (Maybe I just answered my own question, but I'm a little bit confused.

3,308 PointsYou can use both of the options. You just have to remember some things:
- For inline-block elements there's always a margin set by the browser to inline-block elements, so if you want your elements without margin, you may use a negative margin or you can check this link.
- For floating elements you may add a clear pseudo element with the property "clear:all" you can check this link
Also you can try with flexbox (my favorite) I think it makes more sense, since you are defining the behaviour to the parent (ul) and then to the children elements (li). You can also arrange all the elements on your top header with flexbox. Flexbox makes more easy align your elements to their parent. Here is an example of this option
I hope my answer helps you, and you can take your decision!
Cheers!
