About

Great at stopping animations from distracting you while reading.

This stops everything from GIF, Flash, and even JavaScript.

Just press the escape key [esc]... and press again to restore.

To change the shortcut, go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts

Works by taking a screen shot and layering it over the page... unfortunately it can't do a full screen shot (see crbug report 45209), so it re-updates when you scroll or resize the window.

To raise bug reports, or see the source code, please go to:
