I think this is a Windows setting I enabled to get rid of annoying window animations, didn't know it could affect web pages, and I'm not sure I want it to :D

Well it's nice actually, but in this specific case I think I'd like to override it.



yep, it can be detected in JS and even CSS with a media query: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/pref...

Depends on how the dev wants to implement it, usually when I'm throwing a small animation on a site I'll silently respect the preference and skip the animation without an override option, but for a site like this I'd expect an override switch.
