Activity+ v0.4.0: Anti-Rollup Rollout

Do you like seeing individual reblog notes? Do you enjoy consuming the delicious tags? Do you flourish off a generous diet of #literally dying #same #me #kin? Did @staff destroy your lifestyle by opting you into the notes rollup test?

Activity+ version 0.4.0 brings a new feature which unrolls the rollups. Download or update Activity+ in your local XKit. If you already have Activity+ installed it should automatically update in the next few days; we’re very proud of it.

Reclaim the tags! Rejoice as you gaze upon each and every sap who reblogged your post! Revive your ability to click on notes to see the original post!

New XKit 7.8.0

Welcome to the future! New XKit 7.8.0 is a comprehensive update of our base extension for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari with a bunch of improvements. New XKit is now fully a WebExtension on both Firefox and Chrome, which allows us to share the browser support code between both platforms. Most importantly, this means that your XKit will continue working on Firefox Quantum.

New XKit 7.8.0 should be automatically downloaded for you through your browser’s normal update process.

Note for Firefox users: You must already have New XKit 7.7.7 or higher for your data to be automatically transferred to 7.8.0. If you have a lower version, download 7.7.7′s xpi first at its release page. If you run into any trouble, follow the steps in this new-xkit-support post.

Also for Firefox users: If you have problems with One-Click Postage after updating, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Check out this post on new-xkit-support for more information.

New XKit Firefox v7.7.6

Hello everyone! In today’s New XKit update, we’re laying the groundwork for supporting Firefox 57′s release. This update adds WebExtension support for XKit and includes a migration step to make sure everyone keeps the same config both before and after the change. Because WebExtensions will be the only platform supported for Firefox going forward, it’s important that you install this update so you can continue to access your config in future versions.

Immediately after upgrading you may encounter a brief pause where Tumblr or Firefox ceases to respond to you for a couple seconds before everything runs normally. This is should only happen if you are running Firefox on a toaster made out of wood, but we want to make sure that you know there is nothing to be afraid of.

Your XKit should update automatically within the next few days, but if you want to hurry the process along, you can download it directly from https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/releases/firefox-v7.7.6/ (XPI file)

Recent XKit Updates: May 29

• Soft Refresh
  • v0.5.6: Perform a dark ritual to transform Soft Refreshed posts into real posts with real like buttons.
• Blacklist
  • v2.9.0: Preserve links in Blacklist. Blacklist now reads the links in posts. For example, add goo.gl* to your filters to eradicate 90% of spam spam spam spam spam spammity spam! Many thanks to community contributor PalanteJon for their work in producing this update.
• Hermes
  • v1.2.2: Fix performance issues and caption deletion. Hermes now unloads the images and media of each post once. It also does not delete each post’s caption. These provide 20% more speed per speed and 100% more caption per caption.
• Profiler
  • v1.2.2: Fix parsing error in Profiler. Profiler now actually works instead of displaying an error. Knowledge is power, especially when that knowledge is about blogs.
• One-Click Postage
  • v4.3.0: AlreadyReblogged now adds a checkmark to reblog icon. Like it says on the tin, adds a happy checkmark next to reblogged posts. Turns out that in some cases the green of a “reblogged” post was pretty hard to distinguish from the grey, especially for users with colorblindness. You’ve probably already seen this change already—there were a few pretty popular posts about it.
• Go-To-Dash
  • v1.2.1: Fix Go To Dash ‘View’ button. The “View” button was only 1px high, so we fixed this shortage by stealing some buttons from the Coraline set.
• Retags
  • v1.0.6: Add a new API key. For a few hours, Retags was completely broken and everyone was seeing 401 errors everywhere. Normally we’d say blame Tumblr, but to be honest we have no idea why the old API key stopped working.

Audio+ 0.4.3: Pop Out Controls

It happens to the best of us. We scroll away from a playing audio post, loving and appreciating its heartfelt music, promising to cherish its tunes for the next four minutes. We whisper sweet nothings to the audio post as it disappears up our dashes, gone from our eyes but not our hearts or our ears.

But then we see a Vine. A Vine that promises to scintillate and stupefy if only we could unmute it for just six seconds. A Vine whose whole experience would change our lives if only we could just pause the lovely music playing in our ears for just six seconds.

Let’s dare to take those six seconds back. In Audio+ version 0.4.3, if you scroll away from a playing audio post this cute little BB-8 impersonator will follow you until you close it, helpfully providing the pause and play buttons your short attention span needs.

Get Audio+ 0.4.3 in the New XKit Extensions Gallery or update today.
