This is a long standing bug in libnsgif (the GIF parsing and rendering
lib used by NetSurf) or netsurf itself. It updates the wrong screen
areas (instead of the GIF's area). This only happens on the
atari-forum.com page. At least I have never seen another page. Maybe
someone can copy the animated gif into an page that has no other
elements otherwise (except a little bit of text to see flickering...)
and check if it still flickering because it updates the wrong area. If
not, the problem seems to be triggered by the page structure, not the
GIF's.

Greets,
