for some gifs theres quite a big freeze for a bit while loading the gifs, is there any possible way to have it load while not freezing the game, and just take a second to show up or is the game freezing the only option? thank you!

If someone paid me, I think I could make the extension load one frame at a time, which would then let you load the GIF bit-by-bit instead of all at once.
If you know Haxe, you can try doing that yourself (see source code) - gotta split up the GifReader.read and Gif.read methods.
