[Less Broken Than You Think]

Did you enjoy April 1st last week? So did we! We loved those purchasable features so much, we stole ‘em!

_{Not the horse, though. Horses are pretty hard to steal. They’re stubborn, and strong.}

But that leaves arguably the best three things from the 1^st of April in our sack of loot - framed avatars, the “tumbler” logo, and yes, AOL Instant Messenger. Downloadable now from the gallery, the April Fool’s extension brings those things back to your dashboard! Enjoy the jokes all year-round!

As always, if these jokes backfire horribly, our askbox and live support Discord server are always open or you can open an issue on GitHub!

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!

Introducing a new extension to the gallery: Mutual Checker!

If you like to give your tumblr buddies more love or keep caught up with your friends’ posts, this feature is perfect for you. It simply adds an icon, as you can see above, to each post made or reblogged by your mutuals.

It’s got a fun option to check who follows your sideblogs, too! Very useful if your most-used blog isn’t your primary.

As always, if you run into any problems with this (or anything else), feel free to join our live support chat, open a GitHub issue or send us an ask either here or at @new-xkit-support!

Enjoy!

New XKit 7.8.0

[new-xkit-extension]

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.

We made a point release (7.8.1) this afternoon to fix a critical bug in Firefox memory/RAM usage. If you were experiencing high memory usage when browsing individual blog pages (not the dashboard), you should update to this release to fix the problem.

Reblogging this again since with the release of Firefox 57 (Quantum) this week, a couple users are finding that they hadn’t updated to the newest version of New XKit and couldn’t access XKit.

Please use this as a reference in case you run into similar issues!

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)
