Soddisfaciente

I previously posted a 3-star rating, but I am seeing improvements and the developer is responsive, so I'm upgrading my rating up a notch. Sidebar support would get the fifth star from me as this is what I really need. Otherwise this is a very good feed reader.

Feedbro has become my perfect feed reader. Clear interface, no advertising. What more could you ask for?

What I miss:

->Synchronization with FirefoxSync, so that I have the same data at home and in the office.
->Which would also be nice: support for Android.
->ReadLater/Bookmarks

"You can "bookmark" articles by starring them."

Yes, I know that. But it would be nice to use Feedbro as Pocket or Instapaper alternative. So, save websites outside of Feedbro in Feedbro: -))

Installed my feeds, looks good.

How do I know if a feed’s been updated?

I’ve set notifications & sounds, but if I miss those, how do I check?

nice alternativ for Bamboo!
can i automaticly hide a new feed if is marked as read (nice feature from Bamboo) ?

I like it. Former Bamboo user, this is a better solution.

***Bug Report! I am unable to Export my subscriptions. I could not find a place to file a bug report, so here it is.

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

I really want to use this on other systems. I don't want go to the effort of recreating all of my stuff over again.
thanks!

***Bug fixed, thanks!

Great extension we have there! That reader is very easy to use, but we have a huge customisation potential if we look into the settings. Especially with the Rules panel.

Just a suggestion : It would be nice if we had the ability to create our own themes (I mean, import and export our own CSS sheets).
Also, I think there should be an option to make the Feedbro icon "uncolorized". Most of the buttons in Firefox are in shades of grey by default, and the icon of the extension adds some visual "noise", making sometimes hard to see the number of updates with a fast glance :/

This extension is awesome!

This addon is awesome. Old Bamboo user, I really loved its Popup option, not the default "Tab" one which was the standard and only type for Feedbro. Nonetheless, I made do.

Thanks anyways, best feedreader for FF Quantum :)

Please, 3 very simple requests:

- Make article titles (3-panel view titles list) to fit in just 1 line (including favicons option "on").
There is no need for 2 lines per title. If an individual user wants to see sources under article titles, then should be optional for him (but not forced for all users).
With the present 2 lines per title layout, it is very uncomfortable to use in small screens or mobiles (specially when we use lot of RSS). BTW, sources are described at the the first left-column, so it is redundant to put it again in title column.

- Make for the article titles, the same option articles have allowing customization of body font size and body line height.

- Make all columns 100% sizeable.
I use the "mode use 3". Columns have a small option to be resized. It will be nice to have 100% size control of the 3 columns.

I will give 5 stars if my 3 very simple requests are done.
Also, I will make a donation if it is done in the next days.

FEEDBRO is a hell of thousand tracking cookies invading privacy. Nowadays this is also a dangerous cybersecurity problem.

I tested FEEDBRO by blocking all cookies in FF. And all my feeds worked perfect at FEEDBRO. No cookies at all.
But the problem is that I need cookies enabled at FF.
So, if FEEDBRO works with cookies blocked, why FEEDBRO doesn't block cookies by it self?

In fact, in the option or settings page, FEEDBRO can block scripts, objects, applet, iframe, embed... but not cookies! Why is that?
FEEDBRO needs a simple option to load articles as text-only, or a simple option for blocking cookies. This will improve resources, and will solve privacy and security risks.

* Cookie add-ons are not working over cookies of other add-ons. Cookie AutoDelete doesn't work on FEEDBRO. I tested other different cookie addon-s and all of them don't recognize FEEDBRO as a "tab" or "window". The best scenario with these cookie add-ons is deleting cookies when FF closes, but dangerous FEEDBRO cookies might live hours and days. UMatrix is the only add-on deleting localstorage before FF closes, but is ridiculous to install 2MiB only because of FEEDBRO.

* I have more than 200 feeds, so is impossible to white-list cookies. Also, FF built-in cookies manager doesn't allow to import/export or synchronized blocked/unblocked cookies. No one is going to expend days doing this inefficient task.

** I am raising my stars qualification considering author' predisposition to: a) Solve problems b) Attend user requests c) Quick answers. Thank you.

** 2MiB is not a matter of size in the HD, but it is a huge matter of browser system resources. And in principle, isn't right to force the use of other add-ons in order to use FEEDBRO.
FEEDBRO perfectly can work without cookies. And not approved cookies are a big privacy and security issue. So, a simple option loading articles as text-only is the perfect solution. Thank you.

Does the job, but missing critical features: preload next post, jump to specific feed from article.

Edit: Thanks Nodetics. I was aware of the link to the source site on the "from"-line; there is no way to go direct to the _feed_ of a particular post while in the "All Items" view.

As for preloading, what is it a waste /of/? A waste of my bandwidth for the single next post I didn't read, or a waste of my time spent waiting for each and every new post to begin and finish loading?

Edit 2: I don't want to open the feed XML URL, but the feed itself within Feedbro. E.g., I see a particular article in the All Items view, then I want to stop reading All Items and read only that particular feed, within Feedbro.

The viewmode I use (and that needs the preloading feature) is #3, "List of article titles + selected article".

Edit 3: Thanks Nodetics! Perhaps some words & a link, placed at the end of the existing "from"-line, e.g.:

from _reddit: the front page of the internet_ _(Open Feed)_

or

from _reddit: the front page of the internet_ _(Open Site)_


Not sure which would be more popular - keeping the site name link pointed to the site, or switching it to the feed. FWIW, another aggregator (NewsBlur) doesn't link to site homepages from articles, but only from the site's feed.

Greetings. The criticisms are good because they help you understand what you should improve, but I personally do not agree with some that have been made to this addon. Currently this is one of the best feed readers. I have previously used Bamboo feed Reader, very good as well, but not compatible with Quantum.
And that the developer provides support for Quantum, that says a lot about it. This addon is among the best feed readers currently.

JEJEJE, now.
It would be possible to add to future versions the possibility of limiting the amount of feed that is loaded at the same time, example, one at a time, or two at a time, or all at the same time?

Thanks for the best RSS reader on the web! You guys rock

Well done, this extension is user friendly, easy to use and import OPML, also easy to customize. I like the preset ways to view feeds.

Hello,

I really like the feedreader, but I have ideas for improvement:
- Not a true sidebar (don't know if this is a limitation of the Quantum Firefox API)

- Other readers show the top 20 or 30 title under the bookmark in the sidebar (so the current tab is free)
I pin the TAB, and switch back occassionally but the sidebar solution is much more elegant
Since the design of the folders seems to be already be a tree (open close folders) this should be easy

- The view mode 3 and 6 show "Feed Text" and then second Line the source. This is quite a waste when I clicked on one bookmark, since I know which feed I clicked ;) It would be enough to show "Icon of Source" + "Feed Text" as an option. This would give lots of screen space back, especially when on a large screen.

- I would like to have a variant of mode 3 with small texts (and Icon mode ;), then add a column for every other feed. So I would have
Feed 1 | Feed 2 | Feed 3. Refreshing the feeds would add a new entry to the relevant feed. There are people with wide or even multiple monitor setups who could simply watch 20 feeds move around aday ;)

Thanx alot for this.

Great rss app, thank you very much!

I am however experiencing a few issues with it:

- media autoplay: pages with videos or audio frequently begin playing them as soon as the article is loaded. It would be nice if there were a setting to disable this, or it were disabled by default.

- page redirects: some sites attempt to take you to their website automatically when the article is clicked on. It would be nice if this could be prevented, even if only the headline is shown. I've simply had to remove these feeds from the reader (eg. engadget)

wishlist item...

- feedly integration: it would be very nice if it were possible to get our feeds from a service like feedly, this way it is easy to have the
same feeds across devices.

- duplicate articles: some news sites have many feeds which can contain duplicate articles. it would be nice if there were an option to not show and mark as read duplicate articles (articles with the same title?) (eg. reuters)

Thanks!

1) When enable view mode 2 (just headers) and set "Mark article as read" as "when bottom article arrived" header not change unread style to read one, before reload feed. Just change counter into feeds tree.

2) Also add mark article as read "when article is open / shown" from view mode 2.

Thanks

I like it works great

Bug:

Cannot add reddit RSS feeds, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/.rss
See: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss


Some feature requests:

- Option to turn of keyboard shortcuts.
- Ability to undelete an article within either X second or before changing to a new category (folder).
- A choice of icons for the toolbar button, for example the default RSS icon in Firefox to fit inline with the other toolbar buttons.
- Improve view mode 2 by adding a small thumbnail of the associated article image to the left of each article in the list (a blank space if no thumbnail to keep the list aligned).
