A month and half ago launched Maxxmod, a Chrome extension that improves the YouTube experience by removing distractions (hiding Shorts and cleaning up search results) and adding new tools and shortcuts (volume booster, screenshot tool, quick access to Picture-in-Picture and playback speed controls). I’ve been adding features since then.
Last week, YouTube introduced GIFs in comments, so added an option to stop them from autoplaying and play them on demand (a play button).

I built a browser extension that stops animated images such as GIFs by default.
I've always found it annoying that browsers autoplay animated images, and there still isn't a built-in way to control that behavior.
The extension shows the first frame and adds a play/stop button directly on the image.
What started as a personal utility ended up being published on the Firefox and Chrome extension stores. It's still a small project, but it solved a problem I had every day.

Bug reports and feedback are very welcome.
