ruma Martin Strobl, 7 jierren lynAs a long time useer of the Sage++ (Higmmer's Edition) reader I have been looking for adequate replacement for the Firefox Quantum. The FeedBro is closest alternative, however, I really miss the "update all feeds now" button.

xtalüx rutzijol 7 jierren lynThank you for your review.
Note that Feedbro scans for new articles automatically in the background so "Update all feeds" button shouldn't be really necessary. Also when you open Feedbro first time in the browser session, it will trigger a scan.
However, we have just added the button to the toolbar (available in Feedbro 3.32.4) since some users want to have very long (or none at all) automatic scanning interval and want to manually check for changes. Note also that this approach makes you easily lose updates since if you only check for new articles every 6 hours and feed publishes 20 articles per hour and only keeps the latest 20 in the XML, you lose many articles since they are no longer available in the XML.
Note also that it's quite resource intensive to check all feeds at once (especially if you have hundreds of feeds). But since many people have asked for this - here it is. :)

- Rated 4 out of 5ruma andrenix, 9 oeren lynIt is very good, almost perfect. The rules feature is very complete.
Unfortunately it lacks a "search" feature (or I couldn't find it), which would be very useful. - Rated 5 out of 5ruma Dra Vu, 2 dagen lyn
- Rated 5 out of 5ruma jay, 6 dagen lynlove it! but can we get an option to prevent the theme from changing the colors of the html article content? a lot of my articles look all weird because the theme is changing the background color

- Rated 1 out of 5ruma emaloney, ien moanne lynStopped working with eBay a few days ago. No response from Nodetics. Looks like it's dead in the water.
- Rated 4 out of 5ruma BethNicole, 2 moannen lynFirst Impressions are that it's exactly what I was looking for. I haven't found an empty feed option but I can live without thay.
- Rated 3 out of 5ruma McNamara, 2 moannen lynI wanted to get the feed article in full through your help file so that I could read the articles offline.
When only online, it just shows the web page.
After going offline, it searches the content by trying to connect again
Please let me know if you could improve it further. And provides the content offline
Then I don't have to search one which provides such feature
All the best - Rated 5 out of 5ruma Bojan Kolarević, 2 moannen lyn

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 14020785, 2 moannen lynThis has been the perfect feed reader for my needs, lots of functionality, except: I miss a way to move my starred articles over to a new browser installation. Is there a way to do this? Some of these articles are a couple of years old.

- Rated 5 out of 5ruma Grassini, 3 moannen lynA very useful addition!
It would be sensational if the template changed automatically at sunset from light to dark. - Rated 5 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 13529995, 3 moannen lyn
- Rated 4 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 16181250, 3 moannen lynOne of the more advanced feed readers out there.
Can't make it work in private windows in spite of setting it to do so.
Couldn't find a way to give feedback to Nodetics - Rated 3 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 13272506, 3 moannen lynSo far the best RSS add-on, but it definitely needs an undelete / recycle-bin option!
Edit 2025.03.16: Lately it keeps losing all messages (read/unread) messages after browser restart. Peeping for alternatives... - Rated 5 out of 5ruma corujo, 3 moannen lynDoes everything it says on the tin, it's simple and lightweight.
just needs an option to limit/block notifications on startup
