    Tumblr is officially rolling out a new look for its web browser after testing it with select users over the past month.

    The company says it made the change to make it as easy as possible for everyone to understand and explore what’s happening on Tumblr, whether they’re new to the platform or existing users.

    to the right of the settings page instead of having them in an expandable item in the navigation on the left, fixing some issues with messaging windows on smaller screens, and streamlining the Account section to make it easier to get to your blogs.

    According to data that TechCrunch viewed from data.ai at the time, Tumblr gained 880,000 new installs across iOS and Android in November, up from 450,000 and 500,000 in September and October, respectively.

    Since people are still looking for an alternative to Twitter, Tumblr may be looking to attract new users by making its platform look more like X.

    The changes come a few weeks after Mullenweg revealed that Tumblr is spending about $30 million more than it makes each year.
