Review summary

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.

2026-07-16	Bu*****	Recently I've noticed massive memory leaks and I couldn't pinpoint where they came from until I realized it was something related to tumblr. Tested the site with and without this extension and I've determined this is the culprit. Love this extension and how usable it makes tumblr, but for the sake of my PC I can't continue using it. I hope this gets resolved. Edit: Issues been resolved! My extension must've just never updated. Odd, but it's fixed. Anyway, very highly recommend this because it truly makes tumblr 100% more usable, even when only using a minimal amount of tweaks.

2026-07-10	Fi*****	I hate using Tumblr without it. This is probably one of the best tools to help maintain a healthy relationship with the dashboard and just improves the entire user experience exponentially. I use it on both Firefox desktop and mobile. Speaking of healthy relationship with the dashboard, this isn't an xkit setting, but I highly recommend disabling endless scrolling, it fixes memory issues you run into on Firefox mobile and it helps against some of the more addicting qualities of the platform.

2026-01-31	Ce*****	As much as I love this extension and constantly use this addon to make my tumblr experience whole lot better, I am only giving this 4 stars because I keep running into the same APIError [ 400.0 ] message when I try to trim my posts. I haven't seen anyone fixing this bug
