Ye we discussed!But Adguard can block them without any problem. so to me Adguard is much better than any Adblocker.
I don't believe it
it's about which one has a specific rule for the website you post
adguard doesn't offer more features than ublock. IMO, ublock >>> adguard
instead, ublock offers medium blocking mode, which works similarly to scriptsafe but easier to use

Cannot open the link. Not sure what is blocking it.

BTW, I tried the filter in both Chrome and FF Quantum and they doesn't block the animated gifs
go to FilterLists | Protect privacy. Be Secure. Customize your web. and search for "jab" add the filter

this filter doesn't block animated gifs
this website uses an adserver to deliver animated gifs so when the adserver is blocked, gifs are blocked, too (lucky)

animated gif can hardly be covered by adblocker because they may use imgur or common image storage websites to deliver gifs and rules can't block them

BTW, if you hate gif and want to avoid all gifs
add some filters to your nano ("My filters" tab)
*.gif
*.webp

Gif Block and Policy Control (scripts on block third-party) all the time, and is good, no more ads on this test site!
I'm using 'Hide GIFS I'am Reading' for Chrome

It gives a cleaner web page without those '-' signs and only one extension instead of two. Just touch the icon after the page loads

Hi @Sunshine-boy

Finally, found something which can block the animated GIFs in your link :)

It's StopAd Pro. You can try and see

StopAd — Download the Most Effective Free Ad Blocker to Stop Ads & Pop-ups
I found an easier way.
Navigate to ublock/nano options -> My filters -> paste these rules -> apply changes
