It may be of interest that webwasher ( http://www.webwasher.de ) offers to filter animations so that they either display only the first frame of the animation, or stop after a single iteration. Webwasher is available for a range of OSes, and can be configured to shield any browser which supports http proxying (which nowadays surely means "any browser"): webwasher may run either on the same platform as the browser, or as a service on some other platform. So it seems to me that the problem is in-principle[1] solved, irrespective of whether individual browsers are making explicit provision for stopping animations. disclaimer: speaking only as a reasonably satisfied user of the free-for-personal-use version. I have no connection with the company. There's an analogous product called "Junkbuster", but I'm less familiar with that. best regards [1] Sure, it remains to be discussed whether the group accepts this as an entirely practical solution for all affected users.
