normalize.css is a CSS library designed to make browsers render elements more consistently by targeting only the necessary styles for normalization.

Why it matters: It helps web developers achieve consistent styling across different browsers without extensive resets.

The big picture: Many older normalization styles are now obsolete due to modern browsers and better defaults, reducing the need for such libraries.

The other side: Some prefer alternatives like Bootstrap's reboot.css or Tailwind's preflight.css, which focus less on legacy support and more on clean styling bases.

Commenters say: The community notes that normalize.css is largely "done" for old browsers, with some advocating for modern approaches and others pointing out maintenance and versioning inconsistencies.
