If you\u2019ve been active on tumblr lately, you may notice that they\u2019ve started running a new type of ad in the right-hand sidebar unit. Specifically, there\u2019s been an uptick in ads that auto-play loud audio, some of which are even un-mutable.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve addressed this in Anti-Capitalism version 1.3.0, which adds a new option:<\/p>\n

(small mea culpa: the naming here is slightly confusing. this will *always* remove the sidebar ad, even if it doesn\u2019t happen to be one that plays audio, because we don\u2019t have the ability to\u00a0distinguish between them. the other difference is that it does it in a way that also<\/i>\u00a0takes care of the audio-visual component instead of just hiding the ad, like some adblockers have been doing)<\/p>\n

let us know what you think! I\u2019m probably going to be going to bed soon, but you can always reach us in our ask box<\/a>, our support blog<\/a>, or our live support chat<\/a>. In general the dev team has less time to reply to asks nowadays because of both real-life obligations and the sheer quantity of asks we receive, so you\u2019ll generally have a better time with the support chat, if you can catch one of us online. If nobody is online, you always can leave a message for us to read later. thanks for understanding!<\/p>\n

(one last plug\u2014If you\u2019re interested in helping us run New XKit, for example by answering asks or helping other users with questions + problems, come stop by and introduce yourself<\/a>! we don\u2019t bite, we promise!)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
