Week in Review: August 12 - August 19

Hey everyone! nothing really big this week, but we fixed a few long-standing bugs so I wanted to keep you all updated

XKit Patches v6.4.2:

  • We fixed the lingering bug that broke uploading videos for a while. This was caused by fallout from the auto-playing video/audio disaster, but due to real life concerns it took a little bit before we had enough time to figure out what was going on (pull request #1136)

Anti-Capitalism v1.4.0

  • We added a new option to hide the “Watch on Yahoo View” links that have started showing up recently. (pull request #1135)

Show Picture Size v1.0.3

  • Fixed a bug which causes stacking of picture size labels in the upper right corner for photo-sets, and another so that we now only hide the label for the currently hovered photo instead of all labels in a photo-set post (pull request #1123)

[new!!] Vanilla Audio v0.2.0

  • Thanks to contributor @akunohomu, we now have an extension that supplements the standard tumblr audio player with a less buggy one. This is a complement to our existing Vanilla Videos extension, but is also much more useful individually given the unreliability of tumblr’s default audio player. Go grab it from the xkit gallery!

That’s all for this week! And as always, if you’re having any problems with New XKit, you can always stop by our helpful support chat room and chat with the developers! There is generally someone there a lot of the time, but you might need to wait for a bit or come back later if no-one responds. Other ways you can get in contact with the new xkit team include sending an ask or submission to @new-xkit-support or by opening an issue on our github

intrusive audio ads

new-xkit-extension

If you’ve been active on tumblr lately, you may notice that they’ve started running a new type of ad in the right-hand sidebar unit. Specifically, there’s been an uptick in ads that auto-play loud audio, some of which are even un-mutable.

We’ve addressed this in Anti-Capitalism version 1.3.0, which adds a new option:

(small mea culpa: the naming here is slightly confusing. this will *always* remove the sidebar ad, even if it doesn’t happen to be one that plays audio, because we don’t have the ability to distinguish between them. the other difference is that it does it in a way that also takes care of the audio-visual component instead of just hiding the ad, like some adblockers have been doing)

(EDIT: yes, you’ll have to refresh the page after installing the extension/enabling the option. It sounds like this might also conflict with other ad-blockers, so let us know if you have any issues and/or try disabling other adblockers first and see if that fixes the problem)

let us know what you think! I’m probably going to be going to bed soon, but you can always reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat. In general the dev team has less time to reply to asks nowadays because of both real-life obligations and the sheer quantity of asks we receive, so you’ll generally have a better time with the support chat, if you can catch one of us online. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later. thanks for understanding!

(one last plug—If you’re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself! we don’t bite, we promise!)

Just pushed an update to this that will now catch more ad types that were reported to us by the community. Thanks everyone! Make sure you update to Anti-Capitalism 1.3.1. You can do this by going to XKit > Other > Update All Extensions.

We also pushed an update to Vanilla Video that basically disables the extension—it was causing some severe problems with tumblr’s new “autoplay” code and basically causing non-ads to autoplay and then become invisible. fun. Anyway, if you have vanilla video installed, please make sure you’re on version 0.0.3.

As always, make sure to refresh your page (and any other tumblr tabs you might have open) after updating or installing XKit extensions. If you’re still running into issues, you might also want to try restarting your browser.

Anonymous asked:

Is there an x-kit extension to get rid of those 'ask ____ questions!!!!' boxes that pop up on the top of your dashboard?

new-xkit-extension answered:

There is now! Find it in Tweaks 3.2.9, under Dashboard Options.

maybe we should move this to anti-capitalism? makes more sense imo.


also I have an even better replacement, maybe I should add that to tweaks/anti-capitalism/the gallery or something. 

new-xkit-extension

I didn’t realise that the asktime things were still capitalist, otherwise I would have put it there. Not sure how good an idea it is to move it now.

Definitely upload that extension to the gallery. It’s more of a novelty extension, so I think it should be stand-alone.
