Review Summary
New XKit was a beloved Chrome extension enhancing Tumblr with many useful features and customization options. However, recent Tumblr updates and changes in Chrome's rules have caused many of its features to break or stop working entirely. Multiple users note that the extension appears abandoned with little to no developer support or updates, leading to frustration. Despite this, many still rely on it heavily and express hope for fixes or a fully rewritten version to restore functionality.

- Provides useful features like removing original post captions when reblogging
- Allows customization such as reverting to the classic dashboard and stopping GIFs

- Enables fast reblogging and additional Tumblr functionality
Cons
- No longer works properly due to recent Tumblr and Chrome updates
- Many features like tag viewer and one-click postage are broken or malfunctioning
- Developer support and updates have been abandoned or slow, causing prolonged issues
- Extension often stops working requiring reinstallations or disabling/removing
- Incompatibility with Tumblr's new interface causing loss of vital features and user frustration
