You can also set this in your browser with the _reduce motion_ parameter.

Absolutely no sites, including YouTube, honour the parameter. But you can at least tell the site that you'd prefer it another way.

Unfortunately there's no way to set this per-site, at least in Chrome. Similarly, if you disable animations in Windows, you also disable all animations and transitions in websites that support prefers-reduced-motion, causing some sites to feel janky as a result.

They really need to add a per-site toggle for that, and a browser-level option to ignore the OS' setting. Turning off animations in Word shouldn't turn them off in Google Calendar.

    Firefox: open about:config and add ui.prefersReducedMotion as a Number and set it to 0 (no) or 1 (yes) to override the OS setting.

    Chrome: command line switch:

    --force-prefers-reduced-motion --force-prefers-no-reduced-motion
