Animations & Interaction

Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences. Hide GIFS I am Reading lets you turn animated GIFs on when you want them, and off when you don’t want to get distracted.
