Stop Animations
Stops distracting animations.
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.

works strangely, when you scroll it keeps animation until you stop scrolling.
Why is this even allowed to eexist on google's app store? They are supposed to vet the apps. This thing doesn't do anything whatsoever.
does not work on discord.com
GO GET THIS ONE INSTEAD!!!! - "Animation Policy" google chrome extension does what this is trying to do.
does not work
It does exactly what it says it does. Easy-peasy. BUT the thing that cuts the usefulness half is the fact that as soon as you scroll, it stops its function and everything on the page moves again. I'm not a programmer. So, I'm ignorant to just how difficult it actually might be to fix that. But OMG, I really wish I could scroll through a frozen page.

Works great! Took me a while to figure out that I was restarting the animations by pressing Esc too often - thought you had to press it again after each time you scrolled. What a relief!! Seriously, WHO wants animations and WHO thinks they're a good idea??

Works. At first I was annoyed that the animations continued as I scrolled, but actually that's a useful hint that a particular image is animated, and that I might like to un-pause to see what it's showing. Great work.

Works quite well. Of all the extensions I've tried this is the best one by far. Esc stops the animations. Yes, when you are scrolling, the animations move but as soon as you stop scrolling the animations freeze. I don't mind the animations moving when I am scrolling because after all the whole screen is moving because I am scrolling. I especially like that the single click of esc is all it takes and the animations stop instantly. No waiting for a screen reload.

It stopped working, so.... how is that useful?

This is my list of "must have" extension. I want to support sites by not blocking adds, but I don't want full video and high animation adds vying for my attention (looking at you nexusmods.com). The only thing I would add would be the ability to set a custom key bind, but the escape key is fine.

Great extension! I'm using it with Brave. I really didn't want to block all ads since it affects sites revenues, but also didn't want all of the flashing colors and moving objects on the screen. This works really well. If there is one wish, it would be that the shortcut could be remapped. I've been using AutoHotKey to map escape to the mouse's side button, but most people don't use AHK.

I wanted to try this because it's exactly what I need.... but unfortunately it is set to ONLY work with the ESC key, and I already have the ESC key set to close the tab I'm in. Naturally I went to open the options page thinking I'll just change the key that's assigned for THIS app to work, but apparently "options" doesn't exist. So if you use your ESC key for anything else keep searching gor the extension you need.

thank you! maybe the folks who say it's not working haven't reloaded the page after installing the extension?

At first I thought it didn't work. It turns out you need to have it pinned and click on the icon before it is active. Then you can press the ESC key. Worthwhile. I hate having animations on a page I am trying to read. Drives me crazy!

Seems to work great in Edge

I want to like this but I find it problematic that after stopping the animation, if I scroll the page, the animation starts again – motion is problematic for me as it causes vestibular events. Please let the user control when animation starts again.

This extension is fabulous! I'm reading through some software vendor help pages that use animated GIFs to demonstrate how to do things—it's a really nice way to present documentation, but it goes by too fast! Now I can easily pause and resume the animations just by pressing Esc. Thanks so much!

THIS EXTENSION IS TOTALLY USELESS. BAN THIS DEVELOPER.

Doesn't work Pressing esc does nothing, clicking 'stop animations' goes to the extension page on google store.

Extension is garbage. It does stop the animation, but as soon as you scroll the page you get to the next animation that has already restarted. Then you can scroll up and down and watch the animations continually restart and stop. More distracting than clicking on the "loop" button.

Thumbs up. Why not possible to auto stop without Esc?
