Not really, a size given in px has the same size (measured in px...) in
all browsers. The physical size can vary depending on the pixel density
(resolution) of the screen, but that is another question.

What may differ is the browsers default font size. It is normally 16px,
but it is not defined to be that size. If you define the font size using
percentages or using em units throughout, then you're defining the size
in terms of this default size. Websites often either fix the default
size by setting font-size to a px value on the body element, or use px
units throughout the design.
