by Felis_Beiti, 5 years agoAwesome RSS/Atom reader, good replacement for Youtube's annoying notification system. Edit: Had an issue, dev contacted me and fixed it!
Developer response
posted 5 years agoNOTE 1: Update as FYI for others as well: Feedbro 4.2.2 fires "When new article arrives" rules for also updated articles. This means that when the feed author updates an article, you'll get a desktop notification if you have a matching rule.
We'll change this in 4.2.5 (currently in review queue) so that feed article update does NOT fire desktop notification, IFTTT, play sound actions and does NOT mark the updated article as unread.
NOTE 2: To everyone wondering why they got some duplicate entries in some of their Atom feeds: it can happen just once per feed and is related to an internal change (we added GUID checking and the old existing entries in your local database didn't have GUID values because those weren't supported before). Long story short: even if you might get some duplicates after updating due to this, you won't get them in the future for those feeds since the GUID checking will prevent that.

- Rated 5 out of 5by rgfcesar, 8 days 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, 11 days 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11114990, 17 days agoOpen 'All Items' view at start [X] Activated is mandatory.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jean-Michel Molinas, 18 days agoI like very much this applications but it is the third time I lost all my feed subscriptions (windows update, firefox synchronisation) and I found there is no way to save automatically my feed subscriptions somewhere I could find it in case of breakdown. Please could you implement such a feature?

- Rated 3 out of 5by AverageJoe, a month agoUI is somewhat counterintuitive; when I added a feed to "Root", its contents populated the extension's menu (when you click its icon in the extension menu), not what I would have expected-that's all. Seems adding all your feeds to one menu is not what most people would want to do (probably should be an option there to create a new folder). The options UI has gratuitous animations, with no apparent option to turn off animations.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Korwin, 2 months agoList of feeds when choosing a dark theme:
Foreground: #777777
Background: #111111
Contrast ratio: 4.217:1
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)
Pass for large text only. Fail for regular text
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced) (AAA)
Fail for large and regular text
When choosing the sepia theme:
Foreground: #777777
Background: #3D291B
Contrast ratio: 3.062:1
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)
Pass for large text only. Fail for regular text
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced) (AAA)
Fail for large and regular text
When selecting a folder from the article preview card, it is unclear which feed it belongs to, and there is no way to quickly delete the corresponding feed as no longer interesting.
When selecting Statistics, some feeds are immediately marked as Selected. Why?
RMB in the news list unexpectedly works like SMB.
There is no cloud syncing of feeds via browser, nor via Google Drive/Dropbox connection.
Mozilla Firefox 140.0b1 (64-bit), Feedbro 4.16.3 (Mar 24, 2024), Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.5854. - Rated 4 out of 5by andrenix, 3 months agoIt 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 5by Dra Vu, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jay, 3 months agolove 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
