posted 6 years agoThe reason Feedbro doesn't render feed XML URL automatically as HTML when you open such link in a normal tab is that it would require Feedbro to scan ALL URLs that are loaded by the browser (and check if it looks like a feed based on HTTP headers and/or content). This would needlessly slow down the browser a lot.
Since that is a VERY marginal use case and with Feedbro you can use "Find Feeds in Current Tab" and see the link rendered as HTML when needed, such automatic conversion was not and will not be implemented.
Also the whole point of a feed reader is that you don't have to open feed links in normal tabs all the time. Feedbro will aggregate the articles from multiple sources and then you read those using the Feedbro UI.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19561129, 17 days agoDoplněk je velmi dobrý a užitečný. Ovšem je bohužel velmi složité najít požadovanou URL adresu pro přidání češtiny.
- Rated 3 out of 5by t'svai, 21 days agohave used this for years to follow a variety of types of feeds, and it's worked great. i especially like that i can manually sort my folders and feeds, (which most other readers i've tried don't allow).
however, within the last week or so, embeds in youtube feeds have stopped functioning and all return error 153. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19532291, a month agoWould STRONGLY benefit from automatic/scheduled/triggered exports of backups (OPML etc.) to user designated location(s).
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, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by MMS, 3 months agoReally BEST RSS. No alternatives in Firefox. Thank YOU Nodetics.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17364957, 3 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, 3 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, 3 months ago
