Quick update for the Greasemonkey version of Tumblr Savior, I added tagged pages to the list of pages that it will check. I also made it so that it doesn’t care about upper and lower case in your blacklist and whitelist as I know that has caused confusion in the past.
As always you can find it here - Tumblr Savior for Greasemonkey

Friends don’t let friends spoil shows. If you have to go online before you watch your show, Tumblr Savior is here to help.

I added an option to make Tumblr promoted posts look like normal posts. Let me know if you run into any problems.

I made some quick fixes to the style used in the notifications to fit in with the new dashboard. It’s just a bandaid for now, I’ll have to spend a little more time making it really blend in. I am aware of a problem with the layout of audio posts when they’ve been unhidden. Look for another update soonish. Greasemonkey users, blame Firefox for making their extension system ridiculously cumbersome. Do yourself a favor and download Chrome while you wait for me to update the Greasemonkey version.

I’m in the process of porting Tumblr Savior to an actual Firefox plugin. If it behaves, you all should have it soon.

By request, I’ve added an option to hide follower count in this latest update to Tumblr Savior. I’m also officially releasing v0.3.4 for Chrome, Opera and Safari. I am now hosting all three versions myself as well as submitting them to the various extension galleries.
I might update these links later if the folks at Safari or Opera are kind enough to approve of my humble extension. Otherwise, click away dear friends and be saved today.

This time for both Chrome and Opera. I fixed an issue with Endless Scrolling where promoted tags weren’t being hidden. I didn’t release earlier for Opera because the publishing process for Opera requires a human being to approve my extension. It doesn’t encourage me to continue developing for Opera, but I suppose I’ll keep at it for now. I’d rather spend time developing than filling out forms for someone to glance over and rubber stamp. Software doesn’t mind doing that, but I do.
Tumblr Savior for Chrome™ v0.3.3
Tumblr Savior for Opera™ v0.3 - I can’t even link to the latest version for Opera yet, come back later I suppose.

Fixed bug with endless scrolling and now Tumblr Savior will interactively block and unblock posts. Highlight a word, right click and add it to your blacklist, you get immediate results. Take a word off your blacklist or add a word to your whitelist, hit save and Tumblr Savior will immediately unblock posts. No more refreshing.

Thanks to Freevo’s outstanding work I’ve been able to add a few new features to Tumblr Savior for Chrome. There’s a little more work to do, but I thought I’d get these changes out there first for you all to enjoy.
You can now highlight a word and right click to add it to your blacklist. This saves you the trouble of opening up the options page which Google has done it’s best to hide from you. Currently you must reload or change pages to see it take effect. I’m working on a method to dynamically update your lists, but that’s for the next release.
Another new addition is an option to show the blocked word(s) in the post. You can turn this off if you don’t want to see those words.
And the last change is the style of the notification as well as showing the author of the post that you were saved from.
Hope you guys like it :)

Did you see the new promoted tags? Did you think they were annoying? Tumblr Savior now has an option to turn them back into regular tags. Just hit up the options and check the box.
In related news I’m working on a Safari version and cleaning up my code so that I don’t have a different copy for each browser. In the future, Chrome, Opera, and Safari will all be updated simultaneously. Firefox is still a pain in the ass to create extensions for, not sure what I’m gonna do about that at the moment though.

By special request I have ported Tumblr Savior to Opera 11. All the same goodies that are in the Chrome version are now available on the official Opera extension. For all you Opera 11 users out there, hop on this and let me know how it works for you. Enjoy!

I just put out a new version of Tumblr Savior. New in this version is the option to block posts based on whole words instead of just partial matches. With this option you can use * as a wildcard (ie. ip* will block ipad and iphone, but not flip or mudkips). This new option is not enabled by default so you’re going to have to go into options and turn it on.
The other new option is to disable Google Analytics tracking on links on your dashboard. I put this in because the like buttons are broken if Google Analytics fails to load for some reason (yay hosts file). This was driving me crazy for a while so I’m glad I got a chance to fix it in this release.
Give it a try folks and if you run into problems let me know.

- Now hides source attribution. There is now an option to hide the source attribute on your dashboard so you don’t feel bombarded by ugly corporate logos and incorrect, redundant source attribution. It’s too bad Tumblr didn’t make this an option themselves. If people want to see source attribution it should be their choice. I was perfectly happy only following the people who linked to their sources.
I’ve also updated the greasemonkey version of this script to hide the source attribute. Enjoy!

I know, you were getting sick and tired of Obama this, Palin that. Well I’ve updated Tumblr Savior for the new version of the Tumblr dashboard and it’s back in business. Visit tumblr-savior.bjornstar.com to put your head back into the sand and breathe a sigh of relief.

If you don’t have Greasemonkey installed, you can get it here. You’ll need to restart your browser after it installs.
Go to http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30860 and click on the Install This Script button in the top right corner of the page. You’ll get a notice in the bottom right corner of your browser saying it was successfully installed.
Right click on the Greasemonkey icon in the bottom right corner or your browser. Then click on Manage User Scripts…
A box will pop up, select Tumblr Savior in the left hand column then at the bottom click the Edit button.
If this is your first time doing this it will ask you for a text editor. Try using notepad which is usually located here: ‘c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe’ If you want to get fancy try using Notepad2.
At this point the script will open up in your text editor and you’re ready to add words to the filter. I hope you still remember which words you were going to add.
Tumblr Savior defaults to the words that I don’t want to see, you’ll probably want to change all of those. They need to be in single quotes, comma separated, and lowercase.
Once you are done editing them just save the file and refresh your dashboard. For best results you should be on a page in your dashboard that has something on your filtered word list.
