View Full Version : Disabling all motion...

I have serious problems with sensory overload sometimes, especially when under any other kind of stress as well.

I want a browser hack of some sort that prevents ALL motion on-screen by default. No animated GIFs. No flash -- but also not the obnoxious "you are missing plugins" thing.

I just want it to shut the fuck up and not move. Some old browsers had an option for whether or not to animate images; is that just gone now? FWIW, I'm using Firefox, but I'd be quite willing to switch over this.

Ooh, found a way to do it in FF, anyway. about:config has an option to disable image animation.

Now if only there were an "animate just this one image" button.

You do know that with all popular browsers, to stop gifs from animating you just have to press the Esc key?

Hell, I didn't know that. Never heard anything like that.

Never heard anything like that. I'll have to give it a try or something.

Does not work with Safari. I can still see Shake's eyeball shifting just below your post.

He said it works with "all popular" browsers.

Heh. I know, just adding data. I use Safari because I have some plug-ins for it that tie into a data-capture program, Yojimbo. Also, Safari plays nice with CircusPonies Notebook, which can clip stuff right out of a web page, pictures and all, and deposit it into a file for me. Good stuff that Firefox can't do. I like Firefox better than Safari, it's just less useful.
