Which HTML5 reset CSS do you use and why? [closed]

Real talk: Despite the markdowns kaikai is right, you only need to reset *padding & margin to 0.

Though unfortunately 99% of us do not have resources or man power to keep up with the hundreds of browser versions out there. So a reset sheet is essential for the typical website.

html5reset: (It's too interfering)

I just took a look at http://html5reset.org/

img,
object,
embed {max-width: 100%;}

And:

html {overflow-y: scroll;}

I understand it has good intentions but, that's not the job of a reset sheet. It's making too many assumptions.

BluePrint Reset:(literally a blueprint)

body {
  line-height: 1.5;
  background: white;
}

Whats up with 1.5. And why background white?(I know it's for correcting but still not necessary)

Normalize.css: (Not normal)

https://github.com/necolas/normalize.css/blob/master/normalize.css

It started good with some webkit/ie hacks but

h1 {
    font-size: 2em;
    margin: 0.67em 0;
}

h2 {
    font-size: 1.5em;
    margin: 0.83em 0;
}

h3 {
    font-size: 1.17em;
    margin: 1em 0;
}

h4 {
    font-size: 1em;
    margin: 1.33em 0;
}

h5 {
    font-size: 0.83em;
    margin: 1.67em 0;
}

h6 {
    font-size: 0.75em;
    margin: 2.33em 0;
}

Every header tag is targeted. & they don't reset the line-height of the body.

I'm sure all the above does the intended job well, but will probably be overridden more than necessary.

HTML5Boilerplate

The above are more for pros with Boilerplate leaning to the (over friendly) side I'm sure due to popularity. At the moment 80% of my customized reset is boilerplate.

I'm going to go though all three bit by bit and make my own, it's not rocket science.

Normalize.css is great for both desktop and mobile browsers and is used in many popular HTML templates.

But what about using the CSS all property which resets CSS properties except direction and unicode-bidi? That way you don't need to include any additional files:

{
    all: unset
}

CSS all has wide support except in IE/Edge. Similarly with unset.

The reset.css used by Blueprint CSS framework works well and includes HTML5 elements. It gets included in their screen.css file.

Blueprint is a useful resource for rapid prototyping of new sites, and their source code is well organized and worth learning from.

Eric Meyer also released v2 of his CSS reset (and he did so almost a year ago now):
