Just found out how much CSS actually does behind the scenes

I was messing with a beginner project last night and discovered that browsers have default styles for almost every HTML element. I always thought my page looked plain because of my code, but turns out the browser adds its own margins, fonts, and spacing before I even touch anything. This random blog post from 2019 broke it down with a before and after screenshot, and it totally changed how I look at my own work. It also explained why my buttons looked different on Chrome vs Firefox, which drove me crazy for 2 weeks. Has anyone else had that moment where they realize the browser is doing more work than they thought?
