Nothing requires a browser to auto-play animated GIFs.

  If you back that off it breaks tons of sites and the really annoying ones move to a hundred jpegs. And trying to stop that is not going to be easy.

    just don't visit those websites that perform user hostile shenanigans like that.

  No, but animated GIFs have been standard in browsers for so long that I think you'd end up breaking lots of things. Loading spinners, for example, are often GIFs. Maybe you'd prefer if those were static, but suspect many users would think a website and/or their browser was broken if they didn't move.

  In Firefox "image.animation_mode: once", fixes the issue. (Unless I am miss-understanding the issue you are talking about)
