@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.

| 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?
Clarified the explanation regarding user preferences for reduced data.

OK, I've made a few further fixes on the page, and now I think this is ready to go. Thanks all!
