What it is:

This is a tool for photosensitive people (or people tired of overwhelming amounts of animation on the internet at large) to more safely browse the internet without traversing it like a minefield.

This extension finds any .gif, .png and .webp imagefiles on any webpage, determines if they are animated, and then replaces them with pre-paused playable versions. Additionally it attempts to pause and prevent video elements from automatic playback.
