nga dyeray, 8 vite më parëI think it is actually pretty good for being a new reader and being built on the toy APIs of chrome/nufirefox. It is probably the only feed reader compatible with FF57+, and has some smart ideas, like the rule system.
My 2 cents on what to improve next:
* Improve feed compatibility (4 of my feeds that work on newsfox give an error on this one).
* Make pane resize area bigger than 1px, since right now is a PITA to resize any of the areas.
* Feed refresh cannot be disabled and be set to manual. Some users only need to refresh when they are going to read the news, and don't appreciate having stuff running on the background all the time.
* It would be nice to have a traditional 3-pane mode like the one on rssowl or newsfox, specially with the function to autoscroll every time the last item is selected, so the user does not need to move the mouse all the time to select the next item.
* Allow to rebind the hotkeys, or at least allowing to use the keyboard cursors to select the next article.
Hope you find these suggestions useful.

1. Can you please post the feed URLs that don't work? (or send them to feedbro.reader@gmail.com please). In 99,99% of the cases the reason is that the feed is not valid XML or not valid RSS/Atom/RDF or has timezone set so that feed items are in the future.
2. Resizing should be a rare need but we'll see if a wider border looks ok.
3. In Options you can increase the feed scan interval to 1440 minutes (once every 24h). In the next version there's even longer period and option to disable it. Note however, that many feeds hold only the last 10-20 items. So if feeds aren't scanned in the background, you will lose many items completely.
3. "Autoscroll every time the last item is selected"? Can you elaborate? In the feed panel when you press next (either button or keyboard) the view scrolls automatically if next item is not on the screen.
4. You can use keyboard arrow keys to move to the next article if you hold Shift while doing it (Shift + right arrow = next, Shift + left arrow = previous, Shift + down arrow = next feed, Shift + up arrow = previous feed). The reason you cannot do it without Shift is that then you could not scroll the article with arrow keys which is an important feature when reading articles.
Note that you can also use 'p' (previous) and 'n' (next) shortcuts to move between articles. See the Help for all shortcuts available.

- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga pnhan, 7 ditë më parëThere 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! - Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Celtice, 8 ditë më parëIt'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.
- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga fridakozari, 10 ditë më parëOn 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. - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga BooBea, një muaj më parëit's peak, it works perfectly, absolutely faultless. 10/10
- Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga binomialtie7087, një muaj më parëGood 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!

- Vlerësuar me 1 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga t'svai, 2 muaj më parëhave used this for years to follow a variety of types of feeds, and it worked great until now. i especially like that i can manually drag-and-drop sort my folders and feeds, (which most other readers i've tried don't allow). it was a very good extension-based rss reader *while it was still fully functional*.
however, within the last few weeks or so, embeds in youtube feeds have stopped functioning and all return error 153.
this extension and many of nodetics' other extensions haven't been updated in multiple years (which didn't bother me until things started breaking... and still no updates came), and some reviews for some of their extensions indicate that the developers are no longer responsive to support emails. it's hard to say for absolute certain, but it seems likely that feedbro's development has been abandoned, which means that even more things - eventually important things - may break as time goes on.
for this reason, i'm lowering my review score, but will raise it again if extension development shows any signs of life in the future. with things as they are now - stuff breaking with no sign of maintenance updates - i can't recommend this extension to anyone. - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 19551841 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 2 muaj më parëキーボードだけで操作できて、すごくよいです。できるだけ長くサポートしてほしいです。

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. - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Jonathan B. Horen, 4 muaj më parë
