Cascadr Extension

Cascadr is a Tumblr image and photo viewer. It displays all the images in a Tumblr blog in a convenient tiled display. The images efficiently auto-load as you scroll with a large read-ahead to reduce waiting times.

Cascadr allows you to explore Tumblr by clicking through to a post's previous re-blogger and also allows you to easily re-blog a post by redirecting you to your Tumblr dashboard.

From any Tumblr page with a Tumblr URL eg. http://wonderfulgraphicdesign.tumblr.com just click the Cascadr icon and Cascadr will automatically open the blog you were browsing. If you are not currently browsing a Tumblr blog you can still open Cascadr and simply type the name of the blog you are interested in.

Your Name Here (ID: 0000007a60a98267) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/09/2020 Finally! A tumblr extension that actually works! I can't seem to access the options link in the button and when I open settings via extension manager there's not a lot. I was hoping there would be a way to add frames or set limits on numbers of rows etc but at least it works!

Jos Vos (ID: 00000059ac726378) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/14/2019 I'm missing the feature TumblViewr had that you can open a new tab (middle mouse click) with the Tumblr account (images) referred to in the left upper corner (while browsing the images).
