check out xkit rewritten, this will probably be outdated soon...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.
i don't know if tumblr removed the option or if it got buried in the settings but i haven't been able to get rid of OG post captions for at least a year now when i reblog. this is literally the only reason why i DLed this extension and it works 100% perfectly. thank you so much
