“Accessibility > Reduce animations” is the magic trick to make modern UIs feel snappier and less distracting. I wish web UIs would respect it.



I was wondering if they even could. The answer is yes: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/pref...

My first thought was that the OS accessibility settings must not be available to websites without a permission toggle because the ad industry is just going to weaponize it and use it against people.


I use this on iOS and it still leaves a lot of animations that could be sped up.
