    They talk about privacy being important but yet the add on requires access to data for all web sites...explain to me how is that secure and in keeping with their privacy promise?

    This is explained in our privacy policy:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/feedbroreader/privacy/

    Without that permission the WebExtension cannot access any URLs. Please reconsider your 1* rating.

    PS. Since Feedbro is a Mozilla recommended extension, source code of EVERY release is manually reviewed to ensure it's 100% safe.

    I got it for RSS feeds, however it won't show the latest one on every feed; It seems to cut off the newest and shows the second newest as the most recent one.

    What's the feed URL? Please use our support email for support requests.

    It seems to skip articles now and then for no apparent reason. I noticed that behaviour when reading web comics, getting confused because of missing pages. The articles show up in the feed preview but that's it. I found no way to have it download an article once it has been skipped. The only fix is deleting the feed and adding it again ... until it skips one the next time.

    Without the feed URL it's a bit hard to troubleshoot this but Feedbro 4.5.0 now properly handles XML feeds that are in "oldest first" order which might have caused this in certain situations.

    Edit (2020-07-29): another thing we noticed (and is fixed in 4.5.1 which is soon available) is that Firefox has a bug in Date object parsing when the year is expressed with just two digits. For example this string "Mon, 31 Aug 20 13:00:28 +0200" was parsed by Firefox JavaScript Date object as Wed Aug 20 2031 14:00:28 GMT+0300. This worked fine on Chromium-based browsers which made it hard to spot. This is also a likely reason for those skipped articles.

    Of course, it would be have been a lot quicker to track down with a feed URL to test with. So for everyone else as well: if you think there's a bug somewhere, please include a feed URL that we can test it with.

    It is very bad... Lie is non-useful...

    Installed to replace the gone native feedreader.
    In one word: yuck.
