What happens when we use float:initial?, could we use float:none instead?.

I noticed Gill is using float:initial in the media query!. I kind of understand that initial means 'use the browser default' (hope I'm correct). But Why Gill uses float:initial here in the media queries?. Couldn't he just use float:none?.

Yes, in this case, float: none; is the initial value as declared in the CSS specifications so they are interchangeable. Though in CSS3, initial allows authors to explicitly specify this initial value. Here is a great website to check all initial values of css properties:
