Extension for blocking all animations

[carpet]

Is there a way to stop all animations whether by an add-on, PM setting or changing things in UBlock Origin? I've been trying to do this with dozens of extensions and settings for 20 years and still haven't found a way that works without breaking most websites.

Examples include:

- www.deepl.com - red-circled thing in screenshot

- Worst of all is that thing that started about seven(?) years ago where shitty designers started filling the page entire page with one colossal video. I suffer from migraines and these sites pretty much always trigger one which surely violates ADA regs. For example https://fr.mamashelter.com/

- www.nytimes.com (main front page) -> N.B. they have at least two different types of video that function differently, any of which may be on the site or not on a given day. Some types always auto-play and can't be stopped (a lot of these seem to be drone footage for some reason) while other types have play and/or pause buttons and may start automatically, or not (and tend to show one person speaking, also for some unknown reason).

Using the element picker from uBO, and selecting the movable banner, I can then chose "##div.rfm-marquee:nth-of-type(1)" which stops the animation. It could perhaps stop the animations on other sites too, if they use the same Marquee code. Though I'm not an expert by any means.. Also, do note that this will make links in the moving banner beyond the initial "image" unavailable.

I use this Greasemonkey script:
AutoPlay Disabled for HTML5 Videos + Pause on Switch Tab

Wouldn't it be easier to just set "media.autoplay.enabled;false" in About:Config?

There was user stye sheet floating around that I can't find, supposedly offers safe way to disable CSS animations.

We do however have native option, layout.css.animation.enabled on about:config page.

Is there any known loss of function from disabling css animation? I'm willing to try but I don't know what to watch for that might be affected.

What Gemmaugr offered is the fail safe method without altering anything else on the page. Thanks to UCyborg we have an updated uBlock Origin from the Pale Moon Add-ons page which most of us are probably using that is more responsive than older versions. Yes, just right click any animation on a page and the context menu that pops up will show a [Block Element] feature next to the uBlock icon and once clicked will show a popup menu that has a [Create] button that will instantly remove it. Do this for any element on a page and it's gone.
Hope this helps

Nevermind my above post. I found a couple of annoyances; had to re-enable.
