## Description

Click the toolbar button, then click any animated GIF, WebP, APNG, or AVIF and a compact player bar appears attached to it. From there you can pause, step through frames one at a time, scrub to any point, adjust playback speed, or flip the direction into reverse or ping-pong bounce.

Controls
<ul><li>Play / Pause</li><li>Step one frame back or forward</li><li>Scrub to any frame by clicking or dragging</li><li>Adjust playback speed</li><li>Change direction: forward, reverse, or bounce</li><li>Drag the player bar out of the way; double-click to snap it back</li><li>Keyboard shortcuts: Space to play/pause, arrow keys to step, Home/End to jump to the first or last frame</li></ul>
On a standalone image page (e.g. a direct .gif link), the controls appear the moment you click the toolbar button; image selection is automatic.
