Developers can't make that decision either - given the ability to override animations will end up with all the things still animated because "we know best" A better option is to respect the user, and if your site really can't run without animation, then just show an error stating that...Which shouldn't be a problem considering how many websites refuse to work just because you are using a chromium alternative that is realistically supported but just isnt Chrome itself.
