- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12955352, 7 years agoWorks pretty good, but I'm still missing one big feature: no auto feed update option
Feeds are a great way to keep up to date about a diverse range of topics and the better the reader the more feeds you subscribe to.
Problem with having a feed reader in your web browser is that all of them will constantly broadcast the feeds you've subscribe to, anywhere you take your device to.
This is also true for feedbro, even with the autoscan interval set to the max (why is there no simple off option?).
Not only does it unnecessarily slow down the browser, it is also bad opsec.
Please add a truly and strictly "manual update" option.
Also, opening some menu or hovering a feed should preferably not lead to unnecessary dns requests (maybe when DoH finds widespread adoption this would be less of a concern). I think preventing this from within feedbro is not feasible or too much of a hassle. Disabling network.dns.disablePrefetch Firefox-wide it is then.Developer response
posted 7 years agoAutomatic feed updates can be now disabled in Options. See "Disable automatic feed scanning" checkbox. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13551712, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by JonnyOne, 7 years agoNumber one RSS reader for Firefox. I only suggest to add an option to disable news grouping by date
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14253916, 7 years agoIt will auto scan the current browser website for available rss feeds, truly simple! The power of this add-on is to combine it with Google Alerts that search the entire web on key word per topic and allow you to rss feed that return into Feedbro. Folders allow you to organize feeds into topics and freely drag them into desired order. The controls on feed age, number of entries, and the ability to store your set feeds in one backup file that can be updated and reloaded in the event of loss reset is very useful.

- Rated 4 out of 5by bedwttr, 7 years agoLove this app - such a beautiful, functional interface. I've moved from my longtime RSS reader Liferea. As long as this app remains stable, and actively worked on, I'm here to stay. Thanks!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13452466, 7 years agoGreat RSS reader. The only think I really miss is feed synchronization (via FF sync, or something like this).
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lil'E, 7 years agoI love it.
I would like to be able to use a sound for notification from my computer though. The available ones are too subtle in my opinion. - Rated 5 out of 5by Clover2k, 8 years agoAn excellent extension that I use especially for the rules.
The only thing that is still missing is a report or similar that tells me when it was the last time the condition of a rule was triggered, to understand when the condition is old and be able to do cleaning.
For the rest, for me it's perfect, great job. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12740845, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ahmet Yaztürk, 8 years agoUseful, but my subscribtions and preferences are cleared about once a week. I need to check them every day.
Edit: No, I use Ubuntu and rarely clear cookies and cache. My subscription is a special feed, maybe there are login problems causing this. But, general preferences are also cleared when the subscription is cleared. - Rated 3 out of 5by Cool Franz, 8 years agoIt looks nice (although definitely leaves room for improvement).
Unfortunately it doesn't sync among different instances. I think this is a major drawback.
Hopefully it will get implemented soon - Rated 5 out of 5by Padua, 8 years agoVery functional RSS reader extension.
Better than stand alone RSS readers and better than most chrome RSS reader extensions.
Proper 3 pane layout, with folder structure (many thanks to the dev for personal effort to smooth out opml import issues)
Recommended. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14088521, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by stardepp, 8 years agoIch bin mit Feedbro sehr zufrieden. Ich verwalte über 300 Feeds, darunter Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr und Flickr sowie Audio und Video Feeds.
Man kann Feedbro in hell und dunkel betrachten, das ist sehr praktisch. Beliebte Artikel lassen sich als Lesezeichen speichern, aber auch per Pocket und andere.
I am very satisfied with Feedbro. I manage over 300 feeds, including Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Flickr, as well as audio and video feeds.
Looking at Feedbro in light and dark, that's very handy. Popular articles can be saved as bookmarks, but also via Pocket and others.
