ZaCloud StriFair (ID: 0000004177dd064a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/27/2022 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 Fixing XKit's outdated code base to work with it became too hard on the devs, so they just burned out & abandoned it.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.

Julissa Garza (ID: 000000c754415f47) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/04/2021 Will probably never uninstall this extension, it's made using Tumblr all the more bearable. But it sure it would be nice if the support team or whoever is managing xkit now answered to issues, one of my xkit extensions "One-Click Postage" has been malfunctioning for months now, I sent messages about it a few times and it still hasn't been fixed.

Kulea Wow (ID: 00000009c1828f64) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/15/2020 hasn't been properly working for two years or so. I can never get the tagviewer to work anymore, and it's the only thing I actually care about! but it's not like everything else works either. please fix this extension because it used to be really good.
