New XKit Signed Release

For Firefox 43 and above
new-xkit-extension

Without further ado, we’re proud to present a version of New XKit that works with Firefox 43! Nothing else has changed, it’s literally exactly the same extension you have installed, but working. You’ll still have to download it directly from our github for now because Mozilla won’t show it on their store, but that’s a minor inconvenience in the long run, and we’re working on addressing it.

Anyway, let us know if you have any questions! And as always, if you run into any trouble with New XKit, swing by our support chat room so the devs can help you out!

Hey everybody! It looks like Mozilla released an update today that disabled unsigned addons completely, so if you didn’t update New XKit back in December when we first released the signed version, make sure to do so now!

To check if you need to update, go to about:addons, or press ctrl-shift-A. Look for New XKit’s entry, and if you see a warning message about the extension being “unsigned”, then you need to update it immediately.

invisible audio: the final reckoning

new-xkit-extension

hey everyone! as of tonight we’ve pushed an update that should fix autoplaying audio/video in all of the situations that it occurs, whether triggered by Anti-Capitalism, Blacklist, or another third-party tool. thanks for sticking with us while we trudge waist deep together through the mire of code that comprises Tumblr. trust me—this was truly a sticky bug to unravel.

This update is part of XKit Patches version 6.4.0. You can update XKit Patches using the “Update All” button:

get at us with your feedback! we’re real humans with schedules and sleep cycles and occasionally jobs and stuff, but you can generally reach us in our ask box, our support blog, or our live support chat room. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later.

Just a reminder because these posts are spreading farther then our usual audience: We’re a team of developers that run and maintain the New XKit project, a fork of XKit that was started after the original was abandoned in late 2014. New XKit is on version 7.7.1 (chrome, opera), 7.7.3 (firefox), or 7.7.2 (safari). Anything earlier then 7.6.x is old/original XKit, and you’ll need to disable it to install New XKit. (You can migrate your settings, but it’s a little involved—disable for now, and come ask us about it later)

some quick links for those of you who might not have New XKit already:

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

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!

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.

Hey everyone! We just released a few fixes for Editable Reblogs (version 3.1.0), that allow us to more intelligently and gracefully handle some common error conditions. This includes fixing or detecting some of the more debilitating issues, and a new mechanism to help users report less common problems for us to track down. We’ve also programmed in a way for the extension to gracefully fall back on the native functionality in the event of an issue, which should help out a lot.

Rest assured that this is just the beginning of a much more substantial clean-up to make Editable Reblogs less finicky and more reliable. There are still some outstanding issues, including problems with more then one consecutive deactivated url in the same post, but luckily we can now detect and alert you to those issues ahead of time.

As always, our inbox and chat room are open. Happy blogging!
