Don’t worry about what the end user does. You can’t stop them from doing anything. Only worry about what you do. Do your best. If the want to need things up that’s their problem

Don’t start your CSS from zero. Most of the defaults are well-thought out and work. There’s no reason to remove them. Indeed, there are many gotcha’s that you’ll run into if you try.
Instead, adopt an additive approach: when you find something you don’t like, add a rule to change it. Use classes and descendant selectors liberally so you don’t run into specificity issues that frequently. And, when you feel like you need to add
!important it’s time to reevaluate your CSS and find out where the bug is and fix it.64 replies
