Description

I recently found the CSS @media(hover: hover) rule, and it is quite awesome for only applying hover styles to devices which can hover.

This helps with hover styles "getting" stuck on touch devices, by which I mean that whenever you click a link, or button with a hover style it will remain active, as long as you do not click anywhere else on the page.
I wrote a quick demo on Codepen [Codepen Demo](https://codepen.io/MrGamingxD/pen/KKyXwdw), just go into the google chrome dev tools and try it through their responsive devices feature, this will emulate touches.

Here is the MDN Documentation for the feature I request [MDN Documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/hover).

P.S.: I hope I was precise enough, this is my first feature request ever, so I am a little worried.

Research direction

No project files or tests are named. Start by reading the linked MDN documentation and trying the CodePen demo, then locate the project's handling of CSS media queries; done means the @media (hover: hover) rule is supported for hover-capable devices without hover styles sticking on touch devices.
