by Firefox user 13272507, 8 years agoFirst, I'm happy to have a WebExtension type RSS reader since my former reader, Brief, is going under. This gets the job done very nicely with a clean UI, but there are few areas that could be improved:
* when viewing the index, it would be nice to mark individual posts as read without linking through; some sites have hit or miss content for my interests
* with the above (imaginary) feature and with the existing "mark all read" feature, it would be nice if the index changed the color of the posts like when happens if I do click through
* an option to automatically open the "all items" index when clicking on the app button in Firefox's toolbar

posted 8 years agoRegarding the last bullet "an option to automatically open the 'all items' index" check Options page.
First set "Feedbro extension icon click" to "Opens the Feed Reader" and then check "Open "All Items" view at start" checkbox.
After that when you click the Feedbro extension icon, it will automatically open the All Items view.
We'll add the first suggestion to the Product Backlog. Thanks!

It could then be set up to sync across devices and their various apps, guard against data loss, convenience.
It's baffling that this has not been implemented. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jonathan B. Horen, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by MMS, 2 months agoReally BEST RSS. No alternatives in Firefox. Thank YOU Nodetics.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17364957, 2 months agoWorks great, but having some way to "Pause" feeds would be useful, rather than outright deleting them.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Joey Wheel, 2 months agoFeedbro is compromised. It is communicating with a malicious IP: 50.87.175.165 According to AbuseIPDB this is for a word press brute force attack. It will slow up your internet browsing and it was making Google give me the "Are you a human" pop up when they get suspicious usage from a single device. I turned it off and the popups stopped. The only feeds I was tracking were a few people's tumblr pages. I had to ask around on forums at first because I legit thought I had a virus until I disabled the extension and no regular virus scanner was picking this up (by nature of how extensions work.)
Edit: I had ONE RSS feed I forgot about that wasn't a tumblr and must have been powered by wordpress (the feed author had a WP site.) Feedbro doesn't have anything in place to deal with broken feed requests. I had no way of knowing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dfaure, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by rgfcesar, 3 months agoA powerful extension that's worth an entire app. It can import OPML, divide feeds into folders, RSS reading panel... Really very complete. Congratulations to the developer for the product.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Narendran Gopalakrishnan, 4 months agoThe best among those I have tried. Recently chrome blocked it due to MV3, and I switched to Feedbro on Firefox, but find that Alt+{1,2,3,4,5} of firefox are overridden when on the Feedbro page. A minor hitch.
