Description

Updated the support notices on the prefers-reduced-data page.

Motivation

The page already includes browser compatibility information and support indicators. This change removes redundant support notices and updates the top notice to a warning as suggested in the issue discussion.

Additional details

  • Changed the top support note to a warning.
  • Removed the support note from the Examples section.
  • Left the explanatory text in the User preferences section unchanged.

@Rebaka8, this looks pretty reasonable so far. Thanks for your work on this.

I've just got one comment for you.

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated the wording to remove references to browser support status and applied the suggested change.

I'm not about that last fix; see my comment below.

## User preferences

Currently no user agent implements this feature, although various operating systems do support such preferences and if this media query is ever implemented user agents will likely rely on the settings provided by the operating system.
Several operating systems support preferences for reduced data; a preference set at at the operating system level.

So this change has introduced a typo ("at at"), but I also have a bigger issue. I can see what Estelle wants to achieve here (cutting down future maintenance is always good), but now that the browser support mention has been removed, this section reads weirdly, and doesn't flow with the rest of the page. I get to it and think, "Why is this here? How does this help?"

The lack of browser support mention is OK, as that is covered in the warning at the top, but I'd like to suggest that we remove the "User preferences" section altogether, and instead include a sentence in a new paragraph just below the first (intro) that says something like

The browser typically achieves this by querying the underlying operating system's preferences for reduced data.

Thoughts, @estelle?
