How to prevent GIFs from automatically playing in the browser
There's no denying the appeal and ability to deliver powerful content of GIF when we use it in content. Therefore, currently there are quite a number of services to support online animation such as Giphy animation services, making videos from Imgur.com. Or you can use Adobe Photoshop CS6 to create quick animations.
However, the inclusion of GIF images on web pages will sometimes be uncomfortable for readers, because the page loading speed will be longer than the normal images. Especially when your home network is flickering, unstable speed will take more time to be able to download a website with GIFs. Therefore, the best way is to prevent GIFs from automatically playing in the browser. To disable animation, we do not need to install any additional utilities or software, but follow the tutorial below of Network Administrator.
