2025-11-29	02*****	was going to revert back to 1.9.0 but apparently either firefox or the developer has removed every previous version of the extension from the addon page. the only reason why this isn't 1* is because the extension was really good before the dev stopped maintaining it

2025-11-29	sp*****	look. im pissed at tumblr's staff too. but im thirding the reviewer that said that the dev didn't need to fuck the extension up for everyone that uses it on her way out. could've at least added a toggle before sunsetting the extension.

2025-11-29	Ma*****	I can completely understand your decision to stop updating dashboard plus, and your very warranted anger towards tumblrs transphobic staff. However, the giant "Tumblr hates trans women" makes browsing on mobile way more difficult than it should be, completely covering up the "for me" tab along with making the search bar almost unusable. As I said, your choice to sunset this extension and your anger towards the Tumblr staff is one hundred percent understandable and warranted, but, as another reviewer said, you didn't need to fuck it up for the rest of us on your way out

2025-11-29	Pu*****	This worked great until today when it suddenly didn't. All of a sudden the dev made made her (VERY understandable) rage with Tumblr's terrible moderation practices everyone else's problem by not only plastering a reminder to all trans women that the site's staff hate them specifically in place of the site's logo with no way to revert it back, not only making the search bar disappear according to some reviewers, but the thing that made me disable the extension for now was that any time I click the home button or next page button, the page just Stops Loading and shows only a blue screen until refreshing the page. I don't know if that last part is just petty retaliation on Tumblr's part or a genuine bug, you really can't tell on this site sometimes. What once was one of what I would have considered the most crucial extensions that made the site usable after all of staff's nonsense updates has now made it completely unusable, and the unfortunate thing is there's likely not going to be any fix to this as the changelog has specifically stated that the extension has been sunsetted, which I assume means it's essentially dead. Leaving it at three stars because my satisfaction with the previous level of QOL improvement is enough to balance out the effects of this incredibly quick downward spiral. I won't try to shame you in any way for not wanting to basically put in free labor to keep a site that constantly shits upon its own userbase running in spite of its apparent attempts to get us all to finally leave, but you really didn't have to break everything for the rest of us on your way out.
