while Feedbro is the best WebExt feed reader i found so far, it hardly compares to NewsFox - it lacks advanced sorting options and a NF-like 3-pane UI. while the developer seems to insist that his way is better, it isnn't, at least not for everyone
another annoyance is that FB doesn't cache the icons for the domains and, instead, queries Google *every* time it is started - why? why not pull the favicon from the root domain when the feed is refreshed and cache them?
it is also annoying that the developer uses a combination control to select feed refresh times with no "never" option - why not just use a simple numeric input control and let users specify the time, or '0' to disable auto-refresh?
i also wonder about the ethics of the Nodetics given they apparently don't publish the source code nor make available a proper issue reporting platform - why not put the code on GitLab? trying to hide something? the developer once told me that the source code is available in the package - of course it is, so why not publish it and why the restrictive license?
i also tried to contact the developer twice with a question about applying custom CSS and never received a reply
let's see if they reply to my nasty-gram...

- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 14082151 , há 14 diasI've been using Feedbro for so many years I really can't remember when I started using it. The problem I've been having recently though is when I open my notifications, it simply shows nothing. I can't even click the individual selections to view what's new.

- Avaliado em 1 de 5por Gormadt , há 4 mesesIt would have remained a 5 for me but YouTube feeds now only give me the "Error 153" popup whenever I try to watch a video. This has persisted for MONTHS now and there hasn't been a fix yet.
I've also noticed that the add-on was last updated 3/24/2024 (over 2 years ago at time of review) so I'm presuming this add-on is now dead in the water, which is a shame. - Avaliado em 3 de 5por strok3 , há 4 mesesLack of backup/sync option make migration to another profile/fresh install a total pita, besides loosing all your bookmarked articles. No sync with other services.

- Avaliado em 3 de 5por ella , há 5 mesesI LOVE this addon but it needs more themes for modern aesthetics. You get black, white, dark blue, or dark brown? I would love more variety. Grays, beige, or pastels (like a like blue or light green). Or color across the top + white on the bottom.

- Avaliado em 5 de 5por pnhan , há 6 mesesThere are few utilities as comprehensive as this one, supporting so many news feeds, so many viewing modes, but it's free!!
There have been some recent changes related to Youtube embedded links, and I wonder if it is possible to write plugins for this addon (if it supports API) to get better feeds from Facebook groups or personal pages (instead of "scraping" public data like currently, very limited in content and rate limited).
Looking forward to receiving updates and feedback from the developer soon!!
A great utility that I have already recommended to my friends! - Avaliado em 3 de 5por Celtice , há 6 mesesIt's a really great tool when set-up works out and the feeds continue to update. I've had problems though, like an error 398 with a couple feeds on the same website, and I can't figure out what it means---I have no clue if it's an issue with the website or the extension. Regardless, RSS feeds might be a "dying breed", but like the radio, it's an integral tool to preserve, and I enjoy being able to check the websites/blogs/social media pages that I care about, with fewer distractions and bouncing between sites.
- Avaliado em 1 de 5por fridakozari , há 7 mesesOn Firefox 146.0.1 for Ubuntu number of all and unread articles are not updated when new articles are fetched. It seems that data for earlier fetched articles is somehow overwritten, items are disappearing.
I've also tweaked the available settings - no help.
I'd join the earlier reviews that maintenance of this addon is lagging behind.
I like the idea to handle my RSS feeds in my web browser, I also like the looks and features of this addon, but now I am switching to another solution. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por BooBea , há 7 mesesit's peak, it works perfectly, absolutely faultless. 10/10
- Avaliado em 3 de 5por binomialtie7087 , há 8 mesesGood simple rss/atom feed reader. it works as a browser extension so doesn't require logging in to some server hosted platform that trys to push you to pay for a better version of itself, whilst also not being a complex hard to understand self-hosted thingy. decent amount of customisability with 4 colour themes and several layouts. unfortunately it doesn't allow for subfolders, but ive managed around that. also recently embedded youtube videos no longer work which suucks, brings my review down from what probably wouldve been a four or five to three!
