This is a known concern:
And has not been added as a feature in the 16 years since it was first asked.
You can use extensions and code to remove these:
However, as you specific ask for extension-free options, the answer is "No, you cannot stop animated favicons."
For those looking for Greasemonkey solution:
// ==UserScript==
// @name garant.ru
// @namespace garant
// @description удаление favicon
// @include garant.ru/*
// @include www.garant.ru/*
// @version 1
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
a=$('link[href="/images/favicon.gif?1"]')
a.attr('href',"/images/favicon-16x16.png")
Main idea is to change animated favicon source from animated file to non-animated file.
