# Browser default styles are not needed

## Summary

A developer argues that browser default styles are unnecessary bloat and that browsers should have a built-in solution rather than requiring developers to use CSS resets like Tailwind Preflight or custom resets. A WICG proposal has been filed to address this at the browser level.

## Content

Tailwind preflight or [css reset](https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/custom-css-reset/) are very useful thing but they should not exists in the first place. Today I decided to fight against them. Browsers should have build-in solution instead of forcing everyone to serve bloat css.
