The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Stop Animations

Great at stopping animations from distracting you while reading. This stops everything from GIF, Flash, and even JavaScript. Just press the escape key [esc]... and press again to restore. To change the shortcut, go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts Works by taking a screen shot and layering it over the page... unfortunately it can't do a full screen shot (see crbug report 45209), so it re-updates when you scroll or resize the window. To raise bug reports, or see the source code, please go to: https://github.com/craigfrancis/stop-animations
