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 agree previous commenter: "The animation starts again while you you scroll. Also it doesn't reduce the CPU consumption."

Es funktioniert so leidlich. Es hakt und sobald man nur eine Kleinigkeit im Fenster macht, läuft es wieder weiter.

Works - sort of - but the gif keeps playing a little while after pressing ESC, and then jumps back. SOmetimes also the gif breaks down and there's the "image unavailable" icon instead.

The first gif stopper that actually worked (maybe because those gif avatars have no .gif extension), but need to press Asc every time, and they start moving again as I scroll (stop again after I stop scrolling). I just want them to never move in the first place, that's all.

It works. Very simple just use the ESC key to stop and again to start.
