Eliminating Browser Style Interference

When you view a non "CSS-ified" Web page in a Web browser, HTML tags already have some minimal formatting: headings are bold, the <h1> tag is bigger than other text, links are underlined and blue, and so on. In some cases, different Web browsers apply slightly different formatting to each of these elements. You may experience some frustrating "it almost looks the same in Internet Explorer and Firefox and Safari" moments.
