Unflash Me: A Chrome Extension for Epilepsy Support
Unflash Me is a free Chrome extension developed by infinite_loopz. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension is designed to assist individuals with epilepsy, migraines, and sensitivity to bright, rapid flashing.
The main objective of Unflash Me is to mitigate potential triggers by replacing auto-playing gifs and videos with still images. Upon loading a webpage, the extension works to halt animations, remove gifs, and prevent videos from auto-playing. The initial page display may appear blank as the extension actively attempts to stop these elements.
It is important to note that Unflash Me is currently a work in progress and may not always function as intended. The developer explicitly states that they are not liable if the extension fails to prevent seizures. Despite this disclaimer, Unflash Me offers a potential solution for those seeking to reduce the risk of visual triggers associated with epilepsy and other related conditions.
