Css reset

Do Always have to include a "Css reset" or "normalize" for every website/project that you create? Thanks.

It depends what you are using the project for, if its just a practice project its not all that important but if you are doing something professionally or trying to show it off in your portfolio it is a good idea to make sure that all browsers render it the same.

Because every browser has its own base stylesheet so when u use normalize or CSS reset you are making sure that elements are rendered more consistently across browsers.

In short, no. But in practice, it is recommended.
