I love, love, love this extension, it makes Tumblr so much more usable for me! I am having an issue lately where it isn't automatically hiding posts anymore, though. I'll open up Tumblr or my For You page and see a post with one of the tags I have hidden. If I open my list and click "Save" again, it disappears, but the extension used to hide everything automatically so I never had to see it. Now I see everything. Is there any way to fix? But seriously, thank you for this extension, it's a lifesaver!

I've used this extension since 2017 and it works wonders but I have to take a star off for a glitch. Whenever I use the most recent version (1.16.0 at the time of writing this), the tumblr dash crashes by automatically loading pages, skipping entire pages, and the scrollbar moves entirely on its own! Tumblr works fine when I delete the extension! I hope the developer solves this problem in the next update, tumblr savior rules.

I've used this to full satisfaction for years but recently I had the issue that all avatars and usernames etc didn't show up in the reblog chain. After troubleshooting with Tumblr support I managed to fix it by disabling this extension. Hoping I can re-enable it sometime in the future :)
