Summary
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.
