+Styling links with CSS is considered straightforward, with most developers using the `:link` and `:visited` pseudo-classes. While this solution is very common, there's a less verbose alternative in the form of the [`:any-link`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:any-link) pseudo-class. This pseudo-class selects all links, regardless of whether they have been visited or not. Thus, it acts as a catch-all for all links on the page.
+
+```css
+:any-link {
+  color: #0444f6;
+}
+```
+
+One important note is that using `:any-link` is different to using the `[href]` attribute selector. The `:any-link` pseudo-class does not select empty links, whereas the `[href]` attribute selector does.
