CSS is incredible, however its implementation in browsers has not been standardised, meaning that every browser has a slightly different default settings for how elements should be rendered. Luckily there is an easy fix in CSS to reduce the level of dissimilarity.
Add the following to the top of your CSS:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #000;
background: #FFF;
font-style: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 100%;
font-weight: normal;
}
