Autoplaying gif mixed into text, closed the page.

I certainly like them by default, but I get that others don't - one thing I could do is have them paused by default if `prefers-reduced-motion` is on. Though I'm curious if you (or any other folks here) have this enabled.

(would have added this ages ago if I knew this existed; not a CSS expert, just seeing it now by checking if web has an equivalent of iOS' `UIAccessibility.isReduceMotionEnabled`. neat!)

Setting doesn't exist on my os, and I certainly would not approve of a setting that gives people license to do (imo) shitty things to the user experience just because there's an obscure setting somewhere.

It's your site, you can do what you want; it's my browser, I will close tabs that annoy me with extreme prejudice.

You also removed the giant pole stuck up your ass?

You mean the disability that makes motion incredibly distracting while trying to read?

Then disable autoplay.
