- klvino 2y agoIt's possible to stop gifs if the domain framed them with the proper code. Unfortunately many people believe gif = png,jpg and exert zero effort to handle them differently.
- gazby 2y agoI've often wondered why Discord is the only major platform client that provides an option to play gifs only on mouseover. It's incredibly effective at solving for the problem you describe.

- lupire 2y agoYou can tell your browser to stop them.
