@molly0xfff It does cut down on animations, so there can be a perceived performance increase.

@vertana this is the site with prefers-reduced-motion. a responsible web dev would eliminate the unnecessary animations IMO

@molly0xfff Wow. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a website respond to the reduced motion setting from the OS. This looks (and probably feels) much better with reduced motion.

@molly0xfff @vertana I wouldn't mind this as the default, and (what you ask) no motion for the preference as set.

TBH there's some far farrrr worse stuff out there that bothers me 20x as much. Anything that reflows while I'm reading it — because a banner reloaded at the top with different sizes — or pretty much anything that delays the moment I can begin reading, just to load data.

Those sorts of things are "does not work as designed" whereas the OP is pointing out things that are annoying when working as designed. Two separate fights.
