Was going to point out Konqueror does but noticed you said "modern" :)

Had to search since I have never used it (unlike the easily acessable right 
click menu in Konq) but Firefox has image.animation_mode which can be set 
to,
        none — will prevent image animation 
        once — will let the image animate once 
        normal (default) — will allow it to play over and over 

At least animated GIFs do not have sound, huge plus over videos that auto 
play! And while few bother, they can be optimized to be quite small.
