Overview

Product summary

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

Great at stopping animations from distracting you while reading.

This stops everything from GIF, Flash, and even JavaScript.

Just press the escape key [esc]... and press again to restore.

To change the shortcut, go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Works by taking a screen shot and layering it over the page... unfortunately it can't do a full screen shot (see crbug report 45209), so it re-updates when you scroll or resize the window.

I wanted to try this because it's exactly what I need.... but unfortunately it is set to ONLY work with the ESC key, and I already have the ESC key set to close the tab I'm in. Naturally I went to open the options page thinking I'll just change the key that's assigned for THIS app to work, but apparently "options" doesn't exist. So if you use your ESC key for anything else keep searching gor the extension you need.

thank you! maybe the folks who say it's not working haven't reloaded the page after installing the extension?

At first I thought it didn't work. It turns out you need to have it pinned and click on the icon before it is active. Then you can press the ESC key. Worthwhile. I hate having animations on a page I am trying to read. Drives me crazy!

I want to like this but I find it problematic that after stopping the animation, if I scroll the page, the animation starts again – motion is problematic for me as it causes vestibular events. Please let the user control when animation starts again.
