Blogs Are Back - Feed Fetcher Autor: BlogsAreBack

Features

• Feed Discovery — Automatically detects RSS/Atom feeds on every page on blogs you visit. Optional floating "follow" button can be enabled for easy additions to your feed collection.
• Direct Fetching — Fetches feeds locally in your browser, bypassing CORS. No proxy server means your reading stays private.
• Readable Extraction — Extracts clean article text using Mozilla's Readability library.

Two Modes

Basic Mode (default): Lightweight feed discovery. No background activity.

Featured Mode: Full experience with desktop notifications, badge counts for unread posts, and configurable background checking.

Privacy

• Feeds fetched directly in your browser
• Data stored locally
• Never collects browsing history

The "Access all websites" permission is required solely to fetch feeds from any blog you follow.
