In plain words

GoogleGIFs is a Chrome extension that enables users to view animated GIFs directly within Google Image search results. Launched in 2015, it addresses a gap in Google's native search functionality by allowing GIF animations to play in the search interface rather than requiring users to click through to external sites. The tool is designed for anyone who regularly searches for animated content and wants a more streamlined browsing experience.
