Edit:
This
post/gif absolutely killed my browser. A single Chrome process was using in excess of 500mb of RAM as well as 30%+ CPU for some of it.
Is there anything Linkify can do to prevent this? Ever since Imgur converted large gifs (10mb+ I think) into gifvs/webms, if you turn them back to a gif by modifying the url it takes absolutely forever to load. Simply adding a "v" to the end of the url stops it from lagging a tonne.
Also, My Linkify settings (specifically custom avatars in mini quotes, highlighting a post opens in a new window, and post number) settings do not save at all. I press the save button multiple times, but as soon as I open RSLinkify settings, they revert back to being enabled, disabled and disabled respectively.

The options are reverting but the options I have personally selected stay for a while, then after around 30 minutes they switch back to default.. I'm just really confused

I'll look into your settings issue. I haven't been using the current version much so if there is something wrong I may not have noticed. I assume you have custom and mini avatars off. I need to use a similar config to what you are using.
As for that 42MB gif, that's just plain silly. Add it to your blacklist, it may get posted again by someone else or quoted.
I'm not sure what I can do about it, to learn about a file it must be downloaded. But I may be able abort loading after a given amount of time. Definitely something I'll look into.
Edit: Okay I just leaned something new.
if (window.stop !== undefined) {
window.stop();
}
When that massive gif was loading I pasted the above into the console and it stopped and reverted back to a click-able link.
That actually stops everything in the page from loading, though the only thing loading at the time was the gif.
It looks like I should be able to do something.
The trouble is aborting a single image doesn't stop it from downloading, even assigning a new small image in it's place doesn't stop the download. Killing everything works and is better than having the browser crap itself.
I still need to learn a bit more about it, I may find some other solutions
