What does hack mean in CSS?

Definition of hack:

Hack is caused by browsers from different manufacturers, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc., or browsers from the same manufacturer Different versions have different support for CSS, so the generated page effects are also different. At this time, we need to write different CSS for different browsers so that it can be compatible with different browsers at the same time and can be used in different browsers. Get the page effect we want in the browser. In other words, the purpose of hacking is to make your CSS code compatible with different browsers

For example: when we write CSS3 attributes, we often encounter the need to write different codes for different browsers, as shown below

animation:5s;/*标准版*/
-moz-animation: 5s;/* Firefox */
-webkit-animation:5s;/* Safari 和 Chrome */
-o-animation:5s;/* Opera */
Copy after login

!important problem:

There is a problem with the !important identifier in Internet Explorer 6 and below, if another style with the same attribute appears in the same style declaration block, will cause the identifier to be ignored. This can be used to provide special property values ​​that Internet Explorer 6 and other browsers ignore. But this problem does not exist in Internet Explorer 7 and above

  p
 {
     background: green !important;
     background: red; 
         }
      </style>
   </head>
   <body class="page-body">
      <p>Test</p>
Copy after login

*html problem

The hack part of the code is represented by an asterisk "*" followed by "html". This is a combination of a universal selector and an element type selector. At some point, these two selectors together before another selector only have an effect in some lower versions of browsers, but have no effect in other browsers. Although it has no effect, it will still not report an error, because it is actually valid

*html p
         {
            background: green;
            background: red; 
         }
