have 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.

YouTube video Error 153

Youtube player is broken inside the extension.

Feedbro 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.

UI 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.

List 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.

I 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

So 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...

Vk плагин снова перестал работать.

has issues, lacks key features, no support from developer

Игнорирует записи(считает таковые прочитанными), которые незначительно отличаются в заголовках, например, номером версии.
К сожалению отсутствует поиск.

Missing several features like the ability to undo deletions or have nested folder structures. These are things that really annoy me from time to time, but the rest of the functionality is good enough that I do recommend it. At the very least the developers do seem to be very open about bugs and other info.

Useful, I just wish it had a licence and a source repository

Used to be very good, but now none of the newspapers in Norway is working well.
Only text is visible in the feeds.

And why is 3 options in the setting "Remove tags from feed entries" greyed out ?
Can't enable "scripts", "objects" or "applets" ?

------------------------------------------

Ok, i will reply to the bug reporting mail.

I like this, I can group up feeds for reddit, youtube or comics and browse them by grouping whenever I please. I like being able to filter out things I've no interest in.

I don't like this because at random it will break, requiring the extension to be disabled and re-enabled to get anything about it working again.

Nice but addons should be opensource

This is a BLACKMAIL message: Send me five Bitcoin OR add a search bar so I can look for a specific keyword in articles if you want your five stars back. Mwhahaha!

Previous review:
One serious complaint: Your marketing sucks. :) I was using several other RSS readers, and especially one online service annoys met to no end with their upgrade notification. Came across Feedbro by accident, only heard about you a few days ago, and absolutely love the add-on. Not too fond of the name though, FeedMister or FeedBoss would be better. Also, an easy way to remove the many duplicate threads among the 250 newspapers I'm following will be great. But overall, stellar work, bro's.

Best of the webextension compatible RSS readers I've found so far, but not quite as good as Newsfox was.
Bulk applying settings to all feeds in a folder would be useful, and so would being able to put a feed in more than one folder.
Oh and "mark as read after seconds" would be nice.

When I try to dismiss new items, they keep repopulating. I never know when new feeds are available because I keep getting notified about feeds I have already seen.

Sad that it does not work with MacRumors. Pretty cool for the other news websites I use. Thank you!

It does not work in Basilisk 2018, but it does in Firefox 56. Edit: Thanks for the link, it's interesting ... The 3 stars, on top of that, is my balance between that and other features, as the gmail feed throws permission denied in a high version of Firefox. Most WebExtensions work fine in Basilisk 2018, and I wish I could use FeedBro in Basilisk as it is better styled than Bamboo, and I downloaded all 17 versions but none worked.
