There are webpages that automatically play animations or videos even before the page has loaded fully. This is annoying to most of us, internet users. Stop Animations can be a boon for Google Chrome users, if they want to get rid of the annoying animations on websites.
Stop Animations extension for Google Chrome stops all on screen animations upon pressing the Esc key. Stop Animations can block all sorts of animations like GIF, Flash or Javascript. If you want to resume the animations, you can press the Esc key again.
Stop Animations for Google Chrome works by taking a screenshot and then layering it over a webpage which then gets updated when you scroll or resize the window.
