Fade out siblings on hover

A classic hove effect is to fade out the siblings of an item when it is hovered. This can be achieved with a few lines of CSS by using the :hover and :not() pseudo-class selectors.
Simply put, when the mouse is over an element, all its siblings will have their opacity set to 0.5, while the hovered element will remain at 1. Adding a transition to the opacity property will create a smooth animation effect.
Using the :hover selector, we can target the parent of the hovered element and change the opacity of all its children except the one being hovered. This technique works because the :hover selector is applied to the parent element, as well as the child element.
Alternatively, we can use the new :has() pseudo-class in combination with :hover to achieve the same effect. The :has() pseudo-class allows us to select an element based on whether it has a descendant that matches a specific selector.

.element {
  transition: opacity 0.3s;
}

/* Using the :hover and :not() pseudo-class selectors */
.container:hover .element:not(:hover) {
  opacity: 0.5;
}

/* Or using the :has() pseudo-class */
.container:has(.element:hover) .element:not(:hover) {
  opacity: 0.5;
}

Using the :hover selector, we can target the parent of the hovered element and change the opacity of all its children except the one being hovered. This technique works because the :hover selector is applied to the parent element, as well as the child element.
