How to configure automatic animation slowdown and disable parallax effects to prevent vestibular disorders?

Many modern websites use complex animations, parallax effects, infinite scrolling, and sharp scale changes of elements to attract attention. However, for people with vestibular disorders, motion sickness syndrome, or a tendency to migraines, such visual effects can cause dizziness, nausea, and severe headaches.

Operating systems provide a global tool to solve this problem through accessibility settings. In Windows and macOS, you can find the option to reduce motion or disable animations. When this feature is active, the operating system informs browsers and applications to minimize or completely remove dynamic transitions.

Web developers can support this setting using a special media query in CSS stylesheets. This allows automatically replacing sharp movements with a smooth fade-in of elements or completely disabling parallax effects for users who have specified a preference for reduced motion in the system. This approach makes web surfing safe and comfortable for people with a sensitive vestibular system.
