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 tried several animation stopper extensions, but this is the only one that worked. You have to hit 'Esc' (it would be nice if it just operated by default) but once you do that it stops them in their tracks. Hooray for bringing back a feature that Netscape 1.x had 20 years ago!
Seems to do nothing at all. Escape has no effect - adverts continue to flash away.
Does absolutely nothing!
Straight up doesn't work. The escape key does nothing.
Doesn't block animated GIFs on NYT site
As advertised. I use it for those clickbait articles that think they need 3 animated gif reactions in between every bullet point. Shuts those up at least.
Love this extension! I have a lot of trouble reading text when anything is moving on the page, even little things like cycling pictures in a sidebar. I truly love that it stops EVERYTHING on the screen, regardless of whether it is a gif, movie, flash or whatever. Easy to toggle back and forth using the escape key if I want to click on a link. I really don't get some of the complaints here. For those who are having issues scrolling, it's easiest to hit the space bar rather than the arrow key. Even if you do use the arrow key, it only takes about a nanosecond for the extension to adjust.
Actually solves the problem for me. Thank you! Not perfect but 100% better than everything else I have tried. Note: You need to press escape to stop he animations. This means you need to ensure your other apps don't use escape. It would be nice to have a button for cases where you cannot make the other apps ignore escapce.
This extension takes a screenshot of the page to stop gifs. A screenshot is not they way to tackle this. It doesn't let you select text, it clashes with extensions like hoverzoom, it hides the screenshot on scroll.. I appreciate the effort but a better way would be finding all .gif images and replace with a canvas generated frame, keeping everything else in place.
couldnt even open it
