What's really annoying is that most browsers actually support an accessibility feature called "prefers-reduced-motion"[1] in CSS media queries to tell a site not to do this sort of thing, but Google don't appear to use it.
Thanks for that link. For years, I've been arguing that animation is an accessibility issue, but the situation keeps getting worse. I hope that there is a way to enable that on Linux and Android.
I miss the old web. Maybe I've grown too old, but I actually like a bunch of our retro interfaces. It was usually just a bunch of information with nothing fancy getting in the way.
Trying to open this on my old laptop results in a stuttering mess. If you disable WebGL it doesn't show as many flashy animations, which is a big improvement for me. I'm not sure how/if it's doable on browsers other than Safari, though. With Safari you can configure it so a permission prompt will show up when a site uses WebGL, and you can set it to one of Ask / Block / Allow / Allow Always. I have the default set to Ask, and will usually Block most requests, with the exception of websites I visit regularly and in cases where WebGL is clearly required.
