What’s the default margin that HTML sets for its tag? I noticed that there’s some automatic margin, but I’m wondering if anyone knows

    According to W3School's CSS reference, the default properties and values for a body tag are,

    body{ display : block; margin : 8px; }
    

    And one can quickly get the computed details of any element by accessing the Computed Pane in the Chrome Dev tools.

    In most major browsers, the default margin is 8px on all sides. It is defined in pixels by the user-agent-stylesheet your browser provides.

    Some browsers allow you to create and use your own user-agent-stylesheet, but if you are developing a website, I would recommend staying away from changing this, since your users most likely will not have a modified stylesheet and would then see a different page than you do.

    If you want to change it, you can just do this:

    body {
      margin: 0px;
      padding: 0px;
      ...
    }
    

    But if you have a large project and want to be more complete, use normalize.css. It resets a lot of default values to be consistent across browsers.
