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

This extension was quietly abandoned by its team. Much like previous iterations before it, heh... Things got complicated after tumblr's code changes. Fixing XKit's outdated code base to work with it became too hard on the devs, so they just burned out & abandoned it. But one dev didn't want to leave us hangin' like that, so they're working on a new browser extension called "XKit Rewritten." I recommend disabling/removing New XKit, & getting that instead. ----------- The coder had to start from scratch, which is why completion is taking a while. Some features are excluded, but they explain why on their GitHub page (tumblr itself now has many of those features if you know where to set them up, a welcome relief!), & a few are still under development. But it's coming along well. It's our best bet right now, because this one's just plain never gonna get fixed. I wish the other devs would just come back & admit that... but well, now y'all know.
