en Really nice, especially regarding folks who tend to post animated GIFs to Google Chat. This allows you to see the animation once, but not over and over and over again!

en Works great, thank you. I can finally peacefully read this review: https://ahuffleofhorror.home.blog/2020/09/26/is-it-worth-it-hellraiser-hellseeker-2002/ Most webmaster nowadays don't have a single clue how to make a good website. Rule #1: Don't have 5000 moving images when the content of your page is meant to be read! Total fail.

en No radio buttons shown. Didn't stop NYTimes videos/animations.. If there are supposed to be options somewhere that I can set, to make this work, I didn't find them.

en Did not work to stop the animation I was targeting. The site I wanted to browse has a "search" bar that plays several animations of "suggested searches" on a loop. Because the bar is pinned to the top of the page as you scroll, I could not use the website without the animation pulling my attention. This extension did not fix the issue.
