Animation Filter Enabled
This setting activates the animation filter. Animations either are filtered
completely or they are restricted in their execution.
Animated Images
Show only the first picture of an animation:
Show only the first image of the sequence of an animated image. This option
accelerates loading of a Web page significantly because only the first image
of the animation is retrieved from the Internet. For example an animated image
may consist of a sequence of ten images. Then the amount of transferred data is
reduced to about 10%. This option reduces the load of the network substantially.
In addition CPU-power of the computer is saved which would be needed for the
animation otherwise.
Repeat animation:
Allows to specify the maximum number of sequences of image animation which
are displayed on the Web page.
Remove all animated images:
Animated images will not be displayed. This option should only be used if
animated images do generally not contain beneficial data for the user.
