  <p>Currently I use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>*{
      margin:0;
      padding:0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am not sure why people keep using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
      margin:0;
      padding:0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any particular reason why most of the sites (including this one) is using the second method?. There must be a very good reason to increasing the CSS file-size like that</p>
