About this extension
TubeFeed is a lightweight YouTube subscription reader, follow channels without a Google account, track what's new, open what you want.
Features:
• Add any YouTube channel by URL, @handle, or /channel/UC… ID
• Unread counts per channel, per folder, and in the toolbar badge
• Opens to Unwatched Videos automatically on launch if there's anything to watch
• "Unwatched Videos" and "All Feeds" cross-channel views
• Five view modes: Compact, Medium, Grid 3, Grid 4, Large
• Organize channels into folders with drag-and-drop reordering; collapsible, with per-folder unread badge
• Right-click channels, folders, or individual videos for quick actions (update feeds, mark all viewed, move to folder, open channel page, mark as watched/unwatched)
• Context-aware search: filters channels when browsing All Feeds, filters video titles inside a channel
• Mark videos as watched or unwatched individually or all at once
• Import and export your channel list via OPML (compatible with Feedbro and other RSS readers)
• Optional YouTube Data API key as a last-resort fallback when public endpoints fail
No tracking, no third parties. All requests go directly to YouTube; all subscription data stays in your browser.
Under the hood: TubeFeed queries YouTube's public channel pages. When the RSS endpoint works it is used first; if not, the public /videos listing is scraped directly.

YouTube's RSS endpoint has been broken globally since early 2026. The extension automatically falls back to scraping the public /videos page, so subscriptions continue to work without any user action.
An optional YouTube Data API key can be added in Settings as a last-resort fallback if the scrape tier also fails (e.g. rate-limited IP).
EU users: YouTube redirects some requests through consent.youtube.com before serving content. The extension follows this redirect automatically, this is why consent.youtube.com appears in the host permissions. No consent interaction is required from you.
