: If I override in CSS, does it retain any style elements? If I override the HTML tag <STRONG> in CSS by specifying a different font weight and size, does it retain any other style settings

@Ogunnowo487

Yes,
here you are overriding 2 css properties,
but if others are defined (by browser or another css rule) they will still be in use.

You don’t really override markup in CSS, you just set properties on elements. Setting font-weight: 700 just coincides with browser defaults, as 700 equals bold. Setting font-size sets just that property, but this in turn may have complex and partly browser-dependent visual effect.

Without more information, this is just an educated guess: what you are seeing is rendering differences between browsers. Probably not font weight but e.g. differences in subpixel rendering, making stroke widths look a little different.
