Do we need "CSS reset" for mobile specific site also? like we need for desktop browsers?

Can css reset on mobile sites decrease the performance of rendering?

+6  A: 

How strongly do you believe in CSS reset for the desktop?

I tend to agree with those who argue that CSS resets are too heavy-handed (have you ever read one? I'd never heard of some of those elements) and that ultimately, hand-crafted rules based on your actual needs will be most predictable and efficient.

The mobile platform only makes bandwidth even more precious. I guess that's why you're asking. I'd say, whittle a standard reset down to what you really need.

+1. The number of commonly-used elements that really need their default rules altered in modern browsers is quite low, assuming one is using Standards Mode (and one certainly should be). I find most CSS resets massively over-heavy.
