      Animated gifs just kills performance a lot... So a click to play feature would be very welcome..

      Tried several extensions but none of them works as expected.

      Ideally it should prevent the gif from download unless I click it to play..

      Thx..

        It would be nice if we had a way to stop any automatic media play.

        And web pages authors could understand that not everyone likes media to start playing automatically.

            Yep... That's why I hate instagram on the phone...

              I've tested the extension and it works.

                I tried that extension before, but it sucks because it still downloads the GIFs in the background.... What it's really doing is just hiding from the page...

                We need a true blocker....

                    Facebook embeds don't autoplay when ON a page like wall etc.
                    On dedicated media pages it might depend. Well, streams did autoplay last time I occurred there.

                      Facebook embeds did autoplay, unless you turned that setting off. Maybe they are changed behavior; I have no fb account to check.

                      I would like option to disable gif animation too. For me, first frame could be displayed - no big problem.

                      And I would like some option to disable any media content autoplay, be it plugins (possible currently) ot HTML5 content (can't blocked).
