>> If you disable animated GIFs someone will make a JS library that recreates it..

Let's disable that too. My browser is not someones corporate programming play room.

Most users including myself disagree with you. I don't mind autoplaying silent gif's, in fact on some sites (youtube) I WANT autoplaying video with sound.

Will second that. I definitely view autoplaying gifs and videos (no sound) as a really nice feature. I'm glad for it.
