This is indeed a defect, so your criticism wasn&#x27;t negative or unwarranted :)<p>Filing a defect report is one thing, complaining about the very idea of having an animated background, yelling at me for being a &quot;typical front-end dev, doesn&#x27;t test in Firefox&quot; or something like that, that&#x27;s the sort of negative criticism I&#x27;m talking about.<p>My point was, even the people who are engaging in dismissive, negative criticism need to at least be a cause for consideration. You might not take them at their word, but it should trigger a process of introspection.<p>People hate animated backgrounds for the reason you just mentioned, it causes a slow experience. But I didn&#x27;t know it was causing a slow experience for you. You are correct that it is better to not have a slow experience than to have an animated background, but maybe I can have both. I wouldn&#x27;t have known there was a problem until you complained (not that I don&#x27;t test my projects, just that particular site is not very high on my priority list because it is not and has never been a source of business for me). So now I get to make the choice of either improving the animation or removing it entirely, just because someone complained and I didn&#x27;t just dismiss it as &quot;haters gonna hate&quot;.
