Comment (by tradesouthwest@…):

 There is a way to stop svg by hacking the path:


 {{{
 path {
     animation: loop 0s linear infinite;
 }
 }}}

 I use an Extension (FF, guessing there is same for Webkit) and I added
 w.org/plugins to my CSS table in the Extension. Of course this only works
 locally.

 Personally the issue is in need of attention. NOt being one to say less is
 better but, maybe just plain do not allow animation in plugin assets.
 After all, they are in violation of WCAG guidlines { 2.3.3 Animation from
 Interactions (AAA) } and cause those with ADHD to not be able to use page.
