No radio buttons shown. Didn't stop NYTimes videos/animations.. If there are supposed to be options somewhere that I can set, to make this work, I didn't find them.

Did not work to stop the animation I was targeting. The site I wanted to browse has a "search" bar that plays several animations of "suggested searches" on a loop. Because the bar is pinned to the top of the page as you scroll, I could not use the website without the animation pulling my attention. This extension did not fix the issue.
