this question was answered back in 2012 but is no longer relevant because preferances have changed. I did not have this problem until Monterey. It's really annoying. Now when I am looking for something and not watching the cursor, things open up all over the place that I did not want to open.

Mouse-overs are coded into web pages...if it is the app interface itself you can try a different browser and compare your results—I know Safari.app has become increasingly more annoying...
can you give an example?
I do not see nor recommend trying to hobble this feature system wide.
Thee layers of standard web technologies: HTML, CSS, and javascript
Some but not all mouse-overs are governed by java-script. You can turn this off...
