MatchMedia Attribute Manager

Adding a aria-hidden attribute and not using it for it's intended use is bad for accessibility.
Elements can be visually visible but hidden for users using screenreaders and more.

The MatchMedia Attribute Manager makes it possible to remove or add aria-hidden depending on a media query.

Use cases can be that you want to show a navigation in desktop, but in mobile it's supposed to be hidden by default and toggled by a button.
