  • Use the OS-Level “Reduced Motion” Setting
    Most modern operating systems offer a reduced motion accessibility preference that signals your apps and browser to respect minimal animation:
    Windows: Settings → Accessibility → Visual Effects → Turn Show animations in Windows off.
    macOS: System Preferences → Accessibility → Display → Enable Reduce motion.
    Android/iOS: Accessibility settings → Reduce Motion / Reduce Animations.
    When enabled, Chrome respects the prefers-reduced-motion media query, which many websites and extensions honor by pausing or minimizing animations.
  • Browser Extensions to Block or Pause Animations
    While Chrome doesn’t have a single official “disable GIFs and animations” toggle, several extensions can help:
    Gif Jam / Disable GIFs: Blocks auto-playing animated GIFs.
    Animation Policy (by Chrome team): Controls CSS animations, giving options like “Allow once” or “Disable all animations.”
    uBlock Origin or AdBlock Plus: Custom filters can block GIFs, video embeds, and auto-playing elements.
    These work by either stopping GIFs or preventing CSS/JS animations from triggering.
  • Chrome Developer Tools Temporary Overrides
    If you just want to test or temporarily reduce animations in Chrome:
    Open DevTools (Ctrl+Shift+I / Cmd+Option+I on Mac).
    Click the three-dot menu → More tools → Rendering.
    Scroll to Emulate CSS media feature prefers-reduced-motion and set it to reduce.
    Note: This only lasts while DevTools is open, but you can detach DevTools to keep the setting while browsing. I HOPE THIS HELPS
