Would you rather we go back to crashing?

Nothing can be done about this -- animated gifs (which I'm sure you're talking about) are extremely resource-intensive, and we are already doing what we can to keep that in check by checking for image visibility and the likes. There is very little more we can do.

Crashing I do not want they browser to slow down 25 times with extra high resource use and a super loud fan.

Then don't visit sites with tons of animated gifs all displayed at once.

You can try this add-on to toggle on/off animation. I'm sure there are more if you search.
