"It can read and change all your data on all web sites." Seriously? I can't believe whoever created this (never mind people installing it) thought that was reasonable. Someone can't make one of these without all that? | |

This should be called "HIDE GIF'S"... there is no start/stop functionality, and IF turned on then you don't even know a GIF exists. Sometimes you want/need a GIF and just want to selectively turn it on. I might have been able to deal with it if it at least displayed SOMETHING in place of the GIF so that I know something is there that I might want. And further annoying that now after removing the extension, and then refreshing the pages where I know GIF's exist, but now the GIF's don't even display 🤦♀️ I assume a cache thing? I have a million things open right now and it's a huge PITA to stop what I'm doing to have to go restart. Ugh. | |

I frequently use Goodreads and I find it gifs very distracting. It hadn't even occurred to me to look for a gif blocker extension until someone mentioned it. I tried this one and it's like heaven! One click and the gifs are gone. I wish I'd discovered this little extension earlier. What's especially good is that you can deactivate gifs either globally or only in the current tab. |
