Animation and how to block it in Safari.

Hi, All.


I am trying to find a way to block GIFs and other animated content in Safari. Many sites feature these animations and they cause Safari and even my system to slow down to a stop sometimes.


Is there a way (plug-in, extension, ...) to stop these from loading so that Safari can continue to function normally ?


Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

Hi, andyBall_uk.


I have tried this extension but it doesn't appear to have worked for me. The animated GIFs and other animated files continue to load.


Is there anything else I need to do ? I am not sure if I re-started Safari after I activated extensions. Is this something I need to do (I usually don't have extensions turned on. I turned it on in order to install and activate deanimator but don't remember if I re-started Safari) ?


Thank you for your help.
