That website's background drives me insane. Why would you animate the whole background?

Oh well. It's a funny idea though.

I'd argue it's an accessibility concern, not just an annoyance

Userstyle to remove it:

    @-moz-document domain("gwei.org") {
        body {
            background-image: none;
            background-color: #333;
        }
    }

(can be installed with Stylus or similar plugin)

The author didn't claim it was an accessibility concern.

I think perhaps they were trying to be cool, like their namesake [1] and failed.
