The 3 best browser addons for Tumblr
Tumblr is one of the most popular blogging platforms worldwide. In this article we present the 3 best browser add-ons for Tumblr with which you can view texts, images and videos even faster.
"Missing e" - a Tumblr addon for everything that is missing
As the name of the addon suggests, this is about everything that is missing from Tumblr - like the "e" in the name. With this addon, many additional functions can be activated for the blogging service.
- Do you like what you write? With "Missing e" you can simply log yourself and your post yourself. Tumblr has not yet allowed this.
- The "Bookmarker" feature is particularly practical, which adds a small bookmark button to all posts in your timeline. If you mark a post, you can return to this entry at any time - a virtual bookmark.
- Are you traveling by bus and train? If you don't want someone behind you to see the photos and pictures in your timeline, "Safe Dash" is useful. The feature hides all images on your timeline behind a gray box. If you hover over the box with the mouse, the images become visible again.
- The addon is available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
"Tumblr Collage" - Relive Tumblr
The addon "Tumblr Collage" hides texts and only shows you the pictures of the blog. This creates completely new perspectives and the graphics are experienced more intensely.
- After installing "Tumblr Collage", a puzzle symbol appears at the top of the browser bar. As soon as you visit Tumblr, it becomes colorful.
- If you click the icon, the blog opens in a new tab and only the images of the page are displayed.
- If you select an image, it will be displayed in the maximum available size. You can then copy or save it as usual.
- Particularly practical: You can use the arrow keys to comfortably navigate through the collage.
- You can test a nice example of how the addon works on "Scandybars.com" by displaying a collage of the sweet delicacies.
"XKit" - the better Tumblr in your browser
Xkit consists of 40 smaller addons that are supposed to improve your Tumblr experience. You can switch them on and off as you wish. Here are a few cool features:
- A feature of "Xkit" is "Blacklist". This allows you to block posts based on the words you previously blacklisted. If a post contains these words, it will be replaced by a warning message or simply hidden (depending on your settings).
- "Audio Downloader" enables you to save each post with an audio file directly as an MP3 file. It should be noted that only MP3s that have been hosted on Tumblr can be downloaded. For example, embedded SoundCloud files cannot be downloaded.
- Here comes the cousin of "Blacklist": With "Highlighter" you can highlight posts in your timeline, depending on the words and tags you have previously defined. The affected posts then get a yellowish background.
- "Xkit" is available for Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
