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.

While it does stop the animations when you press Esc, doing almost anything re-enables them. If you scroll, they animate for each movement of the scroll wheel. Click on something and they restart. Pressing Esc again to stop them may interrupt what you were trying to do when you clicked.
cool!
Doesn't work
The screenshot process seems to make text blurry. Behaves strangely, especially wrt scrolling, when page zoom is not 100%. (Tested on Hamster Dance) Based on the description and my observations, I assume this extension doesn't remove the animated GIFs from the page when I press escape, so my computer still wastes effort animating them.
Great
not worked with zoom != 100%
Re-enables when I click anywhere on the web page. Also, there's a lag when scrolling as all the gifs step thru their animation.
