There is a CSS media query for that: prefers-reduced-motion

Now whether any sites actually make use of it is another matter. Also I don't know how the user would enable it. Perhaps an OS-specific, system-wide setting like dark mode.

Again, disabling features is a feature given to the site developer, not to the visitor, who's actually running the code.

It would be so much better if browsers were User Agents and respected user settings before the will of the site creator.

They are? * { animation-play-state: paused !important; transition-duration: 0s !important; }

In Apple products, it's exposed as an accessibility option:

tvOS: https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/reduce-screen-motion-atvb... (which also disables autoplaying previews!)

A friend integrated it into Bootstrap for default animations last year, so I’d guess that a lot of sites are using it.
