Best ways to center objects in CSS (Horizontally and Vertically )

In this article, I'm going to show you how you can center your objects horizontally and vertically in CSS in three different ways.

Number one:

.parent {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

Number two:

This way is not supported by IE

.parent {
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
}

Number three:

.parent {
  position: relative;
}
.child {
  position: absolute;
  transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
  left: 50%;
  top: 50%;
}

Number four:

Mentioned by @mrdanielschwarz

.parent {
  display: flex or grid;
  height: 100vh;
}
.child {
  margin: auto;
}

Which way you prefer and do you know other ways?

Im recently loving grid because it gives you so much more control over responsive positioning.
