(This extension is for XKit 7 only!)

The term comes from “soft rebooting”, which refers to restarting a computer without turning the power of it off.

And Soft Refresh does something similar: It loads new dashboard posts, without refreshing the page. This is really useful especially if you use XIM, or if you have a slow connection and don’t want to wait much.

Just click on the Tumblr logo on top of the page while you are on your dashboard, and Soft Refresh will check if there are new posts, and display them to you. If you still want to refresh the page, hold the ALT key while clicking on the logo.

Note this is a highly experimental extension, if you run into any errors, please let me know by sending me an ask. Thank you!
