  Do you have reduced motion/animations enabled on your browser and/or system settings? If you don't, it sounds like it would help you a lot, if you do then OP just updated the site to hide the animation based on that setting.

    Yes, I do. Basically every possibly assistive option that can help me is turned on.

    Do you think it would be a good idea for this to be rolled out by: online banking, government service sites, medical clinic portals, ... on the premise that the user can just opt out with exotic user CSS settings? It is just goof-off nonsense for someone's personal site, not a genuine good idea in UI/UX. (It would actually be perfect for a 1990's site chock full of animated gifs, such as spinning skulls and flaming swords. Had we had the JS capabilities back then, it would have been all the rage.) When Apple rolls out the next iPhone with walking figures for scroll bars, I will publicly retract my remarks and wipe the egg off my face.

      > Do you think it would be a good idea for this to be rolled out by: online banking, government service sites, medical clinic portals Um... why are you asking this? Feels like an odd tangent. The OP never suggested this was a good idea anybody should use.

      Are you ok? (Your tone comes off as “rephrasing the original intent of the post as something slightly different in order to have something to whine about.” It’s just a bit of fun to brighten our morning, not a proposal to interfere with your online banking experience)
      - kazinator 2y ago
        Then why are we in a thread about honoring browser settings to have this turned off? Just don't go to that site if you don't like it.

  There is a setting "reduced motion" on many browsers and devices. It should disable Scroll Buddy if a user has this turned on. Hope that helps. Thank you to @jsheard for the suggestion

  People adding a fun little visual gag to their own personal website is not active malice to you.
