It is essentially an approach used to amplify the optimal viewer experience of the users. The approach uses CSS media queries to adjust to the width of the browser and the screen resolution of the device it’s being displayed on. Also, fluid grids flexible images are used for element sizing while adhering to the exact pixels of each surface.
Just to cite an example, try recalling the time when you would have tried opening up a standard website (1024 pixels) on a small screen like that of a tablet or a mobile phone. You would have noticed that the text and images either appeared jumbled up or are unclear.
With Responsive web designing, you would run across all browsers.
