Summary

Imagine you are reading an article and come across an unnecessary GIF that has been added in between the article to make it cool. And the worst part of such an encounter? They keep playing in a loop. If you don't want this to happen again, install GIF Blocker and experience GIF Free Internet.

We may often need to block GIFs on a particular page only, not the whole internet. For such cases, you can turn off the extension and click 'Block GIFs on the current tab' whenever you may need to. In case you need to see some GIFs, turn off the extension by clicking the extension button. You can turn it on similarly.

Disclaimer: It doesn't block all types of animated content, but GIFs only.

Bonus Point: This extension will save a lot of data consumed by loading GIF.

This extension is better than others; I love it. Could you add detection for .jpg and .gif ad banners or improve it to block .gif and .jpg ads? Nowadays, it's so annoying that people are adding .gif and .jpg ads to websites. Other ad blockers only block regular and Google ads. example for .gif and .jpg ads in website:- https://www.ratopati.com/story/429128/budget https://www.nepalpress.com/2024/05/28/471248/ https://www.hamropatro.com/ https://www.setopati.com/global/australia/330765 hope this will help you to improve and understand. thank you
