I found a good stop animations Chrome extension and I forked it on GitHub adding some improvements.  What I did works best on a PC, it will take more work to get it working right on all platforms.

Basically trying to engender a happy medium between ad blocking and viewing ads.  The plugin stops animations on web pages so you can actually read the content.  Of course this doesn’t solve the problem of malware coming through advertising networks.  I suspect that’s why most people use ad blockers.  But at least for trusted sites you could turn the ad blocker off and then stop the animations when they got too obtrusive.  The bonus of this plugin is because it takes a screenshot it also stops JavaScript animations like those items that auto scroll.
