Smoothen parallax effect for desktop and disable on mobile

Having CSS transitions applied to masthead transformations was resulting
in very choppy behaviour when scrolling; the effect subsided by removing
the transitions (it's smoother without them). Furthermore, it's hopeless
to make this effect look good on mobile devices, since they throttle the
onScroll event too much for it to look good.
