Slideshow Disabler

About

Stop waiting for slideshows. Slideshow Disabler makes every carousel on every website switch slides instantly — no sliding animations, no fading, no auto-advancing past the image you want to read.

🖼️ WHAT IT DOES

• Removes slide transitions — images snap into place instead of sliding or fading
• Stops auto-advance — you control when the next slide appears
• Works everywhere — applies to all websites automatically, including dynamically loaded carousels
• Toggle on/off — one click in the popup enables or disables at any time

⚙️ HOW IT WORKS

Two complementary techniques run together:

1. CSS overrides set transition and animation durations to 1 ms on carousel track elements. Using 1 ms (not 0) ensures carousel libraries that wait for transitionend / animationend events stay in a consistent state and don't break.

2. JavaScript API calls stop library autoplay where supported. A MutationObserver watches for carousels injected dynamically after page load.

Works with all major carousel and slider libraries out of the box. A universal CSS rule also catches any custom or unnamed carousel that uses inline translateX + transition — regardless of library or class name.

🔒 PRIVACY

✓ No data collection — the extension never reads, stores, or transmits page content
✓ No analytics or tracking
✓ Open source code, easy to audit
✓ Minimal permissions: storage (saves your on/off preference) and tabs (sends toggle message to the active tab)

Perfect for:
• Users with vestibular disorders or motion sensitivity who need reduced motion
• Anyone who finds auto-advancing carousels distracting
• Shoppers who want to browse product galleries at their own pace
• Readers who lose their place when a news homepage carousel advances automatically
