User Reviews

XKit Rewritten is highly valued for usability and fixes, with broad praise for making Tumblr usable and for quick reblog. However, multiple reviewers report recurring issues like major performance slowdowns and several bugs/regressions (APIError 400, missing PostBlock, Panorama/UI glitches, and queue button problems) that need attention to keep speed and stability.

Pros

Makes Tumblr usable and essential for many users.
Fixes the footer mess and improves Tumblr's appearance.
Quick reblog feature works as intended.
Overall reliability and ongoing development are appreciated.

Cons

Severe performance slowdown for Tumblr pages (very slow load times).
APIError 400 when trimming posts (bug not fixed).
PostBlock option missing on posts (functionality removed or broken).
Panorama feature auto-enabled causing UI/appearance issues (auto-on without user action).
Queue button/keyboard shortcut regressed or broken by updates.

Is XKit Rewritten Safe?

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.

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

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.
