Disable animations (of any graphs)

Since a few weeks whenever switching pages or reloading the page every graph is built up via an animation. Imho this is utterly annoying, performance consuming and makes the ui responsibility feel even slower, especially if the frontend is accessed from low-end clients.

I found “hacks” to disable this in HA itself (2025.11) but those seem not to work anymore, because the files the tutorials refer don’t even exist on my HA instance (2025.12.5) anymore?!

I also found the “solution” to disable this on client side by setting ui.prefersReducedMotion in the browser to 1. But as far i understood this, this setting disables EVERY animation on ALL websites which respect this setting?
Are you serious? If i don’t want this animation stuff, i have to disable this in my browser for all websites (which respect this setting)? And if i use multiple devices to access HA interface you want to tell me i have to disable this on every single client manually?

Please provide a way to disable this in Homeassistant server side, preferrably an “easy” way via HA settings in the webinterface directly or at least via cli/configuration… but then reliaby… not being reenabled once i install the next update.

This. This also messes up screenshots used for epaper panels. There should be a way to disable the animations for specific graphs / all of home assistant.
