Main purpose of this extension is to improve user experience when watching long animated gifs in a browser. Typical user is someone who watches screen capture converted into animated gif and wishes to pause the animation to focus on some detail on currently captured screen. This rather trivial task is not really straightforward as there are no pause/resume controls built-in.
This extension adds "SuperGIF" context menu to GIF images on the currently visited site. When triggered, image is parsed into individual frames and replaced with canvas that plays the animation frame by frame. User can then pause/resume or seek by clicking on the canvas.
For a simple example, install the extension and test it on this animated gif: https://github.com/buzzfeed/libgif-js/blob/master/example_gifs/rub_test.gif .
Under the hood this extension bundles SuperGIF class from libgif-js project and adds little bit of custom logic to registered event handlers.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
