I find the gifs make the text around them far harder to focus on. I'd much prefer they only played on click or hover.

- gkya 10y agoI'm actually surprised that the browsers don't have gif playback controls by now.
- stonogo 10y agoUntil relatively recently. You could stop gif animations on a page in firefox. They removed the functionality, citing bloat, and suggested someone write an extension. Shortly after, they integrated Pocket and Hello and broke the extension apis that would have made a gif control extension easy.

- scrame 10y agoIn a desktop: right-click, "show controls". Should work in FF / Chrome.
- SquareWheel 10y agoShowing controls is only possible on <video> tags. This won't work on gifs.
