@sweeperq good question. I don't think it's not bad practice to use the universal selector, it's just one of those things devs need to be aware of how powerful it is.
In this example, using the universal selector with pseudo-elements improves the normalizing effect of border-box
. But the universal selector makes it difficult to use the content-box
and padding-box
values of box-sizing
elsewhere in your CSS.
However, by allowing box-sizing
to be inherited from the html
selector resolves this issue without worrying about a universal selector overriding your CSS.
