I\u2019m still on my break<\/a>, but I\u2019ve been getting asks and seeing posts and reviews<\/a>\u00a0about stuff such as XKit displaying ads on their dashboards, posting stuff for them and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let me assure you once again that there is no code<\/a> in XKit that does anything like that. As you know, XKit is open source, and people contribute and review the code all the time. If I were to add something evil, you can be sure that would not go unnoticed. Please know that\u00a0XKit:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Does not display ads on Tumblr or any other website whatsoever.<\/li>\n
  2. Does not publish posts or follow blogs without your permission.<\/li>\n
  3. Only works on Tumblr.com (and does not work on HTTPS pages such as Tumblr login and settings pages).<\/li>\n
  4. Does not collect any of your information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you are seeing ads or stuff on your blog that you did not post, or any other \u201cweird\u201d stuff like that, I recommend checking your browser\u2019s extension\/add-on pages for suspicious extensions. (Instructions for Chrome<\/a>, Firefox<\/a> and Safari<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    If you are unsure, just delete them all and re-install them from their official website (and as for XKit, only download it from <\/a>www.xkit.info<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    Again, I respect your privacy, and would not do anything like the ones listed above. Thank you for reading.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
