*** 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!

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.
