<b> stands for presentationally bold, while <strong> stands for semantically emphasized text. <b> refer to style. If you use <b> it means you want the text to look bold purely for stylistic reasons. You would use <strong> if you wanted that bit of text to look bold and have emphasis. That means it’s an important piece of information. There is no visual difference. They look exactly the same. The difference comes with text-to-speech programs, often used by blind people.

In most browsers, they would do the same thing. In HTML5 <strong> tells the browser that the text is important text. <b> means this is bold text. Most browsers would make important text bold though, and this is why they seem to be exactly the same thing.

there is no difference. They both result in making a text bold. Its a matter if which one you prefer I guess. Hope this helped.

One is strong and the other is bold. You can be bold as a tag but its better to be strong. People respect strong tags more than bold. Also strong can bench lift more weight than bold because bold isn't strong its just bold. Hope that helped.
