  • CSS resets are being modernized with individual care for each project.
  • Common reset snippets include setting margin, padding, and box-sizing to border-box.
  • Disabling text-size-adjust and using -webkit-font-smoothing for consistent font rendering.
  • Using color-scheme: light dark for basic theme support.
  • Applying hanging-punctuation for better typography.
  • Google Translate requires specific CSS for right-to-left languages.
  • Logical properties and text-wrap balance improve layout and readability.
  • List style position inside and nested list indentation with lh unit.
  • Using cascade layers to prevent specificity collisions.
  • Animating to auto and other keywords is now possible.
  • Flexbox or grid for all block elements is a debated approach.
  • Avoiding unset: all to preserve browser default styles.
  • Fluid typography is discouraged due to subpixel rendering issues.
