Hello all!
Some online news magazines are exaggerating with all these animations. Sometimes it is hard to read the article. Any means to stop the animations in Safari? I could not find anything. (Firefox and Explorer yes!)
Best greetings to all

You could try this : https://github.com/matsadler/deanimator
The version 0.3.0 there leaves a partial version of the .gif, 0.1.0 seems to block them completely. Both are from 2010/11 so may not behave perfectly, but easy to disable or uninstall.

omg.. thank you, thank you, and thank you. google animated gifs are getting out of control!
problem solved

I have tried deanimator in the latest safari with no success.
How can we stop these animated gifs.. This is most annoying.
I'm beginning to notice more and more animated GIFs daily. Obviously advertisers have cottoned on to the fact that Flash blockers are widely used now. We really need a click-to-play GIF blocker for Safari.
You might need to click "Apply to all images" in the preferences. It didn't work for me either until I did that. Also, some gifs play once then stop, but that's better than nothing.
Another solution I used to use was Glimmerblocker, which can selectively block web elements among other things (like scripts). Just select Action: Block requests, Hosts: All Hosts, Path: ends with .gif.
Then they all disappear! 😉
