by anon, 3 years agoFeels like it runs quite a bit more smoothly than New XKit, which is lovely. However I do miss scripts like Anti-capitalism and Read more now. I hope to see these features added back as time goes on. Still, pretty amazing work for a single developer!
Edit: I read through the GitHub project page and noticed there are no plans for Anti-capitalism to be implemented, because uBlock Origin exists. While uBlock does block the ads themselves, there is a white box with "sponsored" on it left behind. I'd love to have an option from within XKit Rewritten to hide that.

Developer response
posted 3 years agoI agree the lack of cosmetic filtering by default is a problem, so I've contributed updated filters to EasyList to hide sponsored post containers, the sponsored sidebar section, and any takeover banners; this is awaiting review by EasyList maintainers, but in the meantime you can hide sponsored post containers by enabling AdGuard Base in uBlock Origin's filter lists.
EDIT: Due to the recent frequency of Tumblr regenerating their classnames, Anti-Capitalism has now been added as a feature.
