Instead you can install a plugin, or in Firefox you can set `image.animation_mode` to: `once` - play once on load then stop. `none` - do not play on load `normal` - loop forever if the gif says to With the popularity of animated "emoji" on some forums these days, I couldn't function without some way to globally disable animated gifs.

- gwern 8mo agoAn idea the website could borrow from video games is removing elements after a while, like _n_ page views. (You can store the state in cookies, LocalStorage, or perhaps track server-side by IP+useragent.) The reader enjoys the dancing jelly for a few pages, and then as it gets old, it goes away automatically. (On Gwern.net, we call this 'demo mode', and we use it to hide some UI elements after a certain number of interactions or page-views, under the theory that if you've, say, uncollapsed a collapse region a few times, you've gotten the idea, and you no longer need a big obtrusive text label saying 'click or hover to uncollapse'.)
