Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

What it is:

------------------------------------------

This is a tool for photosensitive people (or people tired of overwhelming amounts of animation on the internet at large) to more safely browse the internet without traversing it like a minefield.

This extension finds any .gif, .png and .webp imagefiles on any webpage, determines if they are animated, and then replaces them with pre-paused playable versions. Additionally it attempts to pause and prevent video elements from automatic playback.

!!NOTICE!!

While we strive to block as much potentially disrupting content as possible, this product is not a perfect solution. Please exercise due caution when browsing the internet, if you are sensitive and could suffer harm or discomfort.

Перепробовал десятки различных блокировщиков автовоспроизведения видео - ни один не работает на Рутубе. Этот блокировщик единственный гарантировано блокирует автовоспроизведение на рутубе.

The filter is so tight it blocks plenty of legit content, too. Blocks google maps. Blocks resizable images, even static images on some pages. Avatars, don't even have to be animated to be blocked. Have to press the play button numerous times for it to start playing :( No setup/options page to uncheck needless filtering, no whitelisting :( The only reason to use it is that all the better options have been banned by the Chrome Web Store. :(

Needs a whitelisting option. Have to click YouTube videos multiple times to get them to play.

could do with a one click on/off button which would have immediate effect. This way it's a lot of work to turn it on/off. Lots of clicks and then having to reload the tab.

I checked "on click" for "Allow this extension to read and modify all your data from the sites you visit", so I expect it to stop the .gif just by clicking the addon icon, but it's active on every site and you have to click on the addon icon to disable it! Another very annoying thing is that the addon is not one click, after you click on the addon icon another icon appears with enable/disable option, it would be nice to single click on the addon icon to enable/disable it , one more click to do the opposite.
