| 2024-07-03 |  | | en | Blocks gifs but also blocks legit, non-animated webp images. I would give it 5 stars if it just stopped gifs, like the name says. it's not called Gif and WebP Backgrounds Blocker, but it should be, bc that's what it does. |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | en | Please add settings to select the image format to block. I would prefer to block GIF and PNG, but not WebP. Thank you. |

| 2023-12-14 |  | | en | Just installed it and it works great, removing all the annoying animations. Saves time downloading, bandwidth and CPU cycles. |
| 2022-12-17 |  | | If you are looking for a simple image on/off toggle, try the "Block Image" extension. Some sites DO make extensive use of Gifs, especially the animated ones. Chat sites are often like that. Tried this out and it worked. This can be a good extension to master that situation while retaining the overall other image quality of the page. | |
