Update to normalize 8

[vladshcherbin]

Normalize 8 is out, it would be great to have this project updated to the latest version 🙏

Sorry, and please don’t take my frustration as directed at you, but it wouldn’t be great, because Normalize 8 has a really bad bug, and the maintainer doesn’t make the time for that project that it needs. Also, let’s look at the feature list:

• Remove support for older browsers Android 4, lte IE 9, lte Safari 7. ^ Unnecessary (and unhelpful) for this project

• Don't remove search input cancel button in Chrome/Safari ^ This is one feature

• Form inputs inherit font-family. ^ This is an opinionated change, not a normalization, and this project doesn’t include the opinionated parts of normalize

• Fix text decoration in Safari 8+. ^ This is the other feature

However, the support removal was too eager, and <main> for IE10 and IE11 was lost.

So, I will add the features separately in my fork this week. They are:

• Remove [type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button selector
• Remove -webkit-text-decoration-skip: objects; declaration

@jonathantneal thanks for great explanation.

I was carrying a minimal reset/normalize file from project to project and thought I could replace it with normalize with browserslist support. After reading about all this surprises I guess I'll just review my file and continue using it 🤦‍♂️

Feel free to close this issue anytime :)

I understand. The goal of postcss-normalize is about just fixing browser inconsistencies between browsers you support (via browserslist).

Hi @jonathantneal ,

I see that [type="search"]::-webkit-search-cancel-button and -webkit-text-decoration-skip: objects; are still in the bundled normalize.css. Was there any complication in removing them?
