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.

This extension is fabulous! I'm reading through some software vendor help pages that use animated GIFs to demonstrate how to do things—it's a really nice way to present documentation, but it goes by too fast! Now I can easily pause and resume the animations just by pressing Esc. Thanks so much!

THIS EXTENSION IS TOTALLY USELESS. BAN THIS DEVELOPER.

Doesn't work Pressing esc does nothing, clicking 'stop animations' goes to the extension page on google store.

Extension is garbage. It does stop the animation, but as soon as you scroll the page you get to the next animation that has already restarted. Then you can scroll up and down and watch the animations continually restart and stop. More distracting than clicking on the "loop" button.

Thumbs up. Why not possible to auto stop without Esc?

Awesome, just what I was looking for. I like that it both stops animations immediately and you can press Esc again to resume.

Чтобы заработало: после установки надо обновить страницу с анимацией

This works well for me. For the people it's not working for, they're probably seeing another type of animated content, like Flash or via a JavaScript script.
