User reviews

New XKit was a beloved Chrome extension enhancing Tumblr with many useful features and customization options. However, recent Tumblr updates and changes in Chrome's rules have caused many of its features to break or stop working entirely. Multiple users note that the extension appears abandoned with little to no developer support or updates, leading to frustration. Despite this, many still rely on it heavily and express hope for fixes or a fully rewritten version to restore functionality.

Pros

Makes Tumblr much more usable and bearable
Provides useful features like removing original post captions when reblogging
Allows customization such as reverting to the classic dashboard and stopping GIFs
Has been reliable and working well for years before recent breaking changes
Enables fast reblogging and additional Tumblr functionality

Cons

No longer works properly due to recent Tumblr and Chrome updates
Many features like tag viewer and one-click postage are broken or malfunctioning
Developer support and updates have been abandoned or slow, causing prolonged issues
Extension often stops working requiring reinstallations or disabling/removing
Incompatibility with Tumblr's new interface causing loss of vital features and user frustration

*** Unfortunately Chrome had start to block it because it doesn't follow some rules ( i don't know which exactly). Please update the code and align it to Chrome new rules! I use it from many years already and i find it really useful! It's a must have extension for Tumblr blogs and works as intended (never had any issues with it) Thanks in advance for this awesome extension and the coding!

check out xkit rewritten, this will probably be outdated soon...

Shockingly it still works. Of course, the pokemon extension and a few of the more silly fun ones broke, but the base functionality of XKit still works. Old Tumblr, One Click Postage, the basic things people used the extension for.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

New XKit requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

New XKit has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
