Problem

Browser default styles cause inconsistencies. Traditional CSS resets are too aggressive (removing all list styles, headings). Need a minimal, opinionated reset for modern projects.

Solution

A minimal CSS reset that fixes the most common browser inconsistencies while preserving useful defaults.
