GifsOnTumblr

Brings GIFs back to the Tumblr dashboard instead of WEBPs
What is GifsOnTumblr?
GifsOnTumblr is a Firefox extension designed to circumnavigate Tumblr's recent conversion of GIFs to WebP on their dashboard. It adjusts the dashboard settings to serve GIFs instead of WebP, ensuring the art remains intact and GIF saving is easier. Be aware, with this add-on, your browser might end up downloading both formats and pages with many GIFs might load slower.

Add-on summary

Tumblr started (badly) converting GIFs to WebP on their dashboard, fucking up glitch art and making saving of GIFs even harder.

This extension tweaks the dashboard to serve GIFs instead of WebP. Unfortunately your browser might download both.

WARNING: pages with a lot of GIFs might be slow as a result. This is how GIFs are and I can't do anything about it.
