- Rated 4 out of 5by BelFox, 3 years agoDiscovered this amazing add-on yesterday. Prefer to use this over Feedly, because no login is required (sync is not a must for me) and the information density is higher. I thought RSS was dead, but this add-on made me change my mind. I also love the search function to add new feeds and the embedded web page option! Very convenient.
Thanks a lot to the developer for the great work!
Feature requests:
- context menu option on the toolbar button, to scan for feeds on the webpage. This way, a single click on the button can be used for opening the feed reader, while still having the feed discovery option at one's disposal
- even better: having an optional RSS feed icon in the address bar to show available feeds immediately - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 6482432, 3 years ago

posted 3 years agoEDIT: news.google.com seems to work again with the new Firefox 92.0
It's a Firefox bug. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1724722 - Rated 4 out of 5by B100, 3 years agoSuch a great addon, making it easy and quick to keep up with multiple websites and youtube channels, thanks Nodetics!
The only two things I hope to see in a future release are:
- Option to disable badge indicating the nr of items that are new.
- Option to add cookies per feed, for fetching full article body from websites with a cookie wall.
Also I'd like to learn more about who is Nodetics, where are you located and how do you or will you make money?
Kind regards! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12438010, 3 years agoGood, but really needs the ability to *select* and *delete* multiple feed entries at one time (not mark as read, delete).
- Rated 4 out of 5by ConPac, 3 years agoExcellent generic feed reader: I use it daily with Atom and RSS feeds, and from distinct browsers. Some ideas to make it better: 1.- Feed autodetection: no need to use Find Feeds in Current Tab. 2.- Auto tagging: generate tags from category elements, present in Atom and RSS.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Valerio, 3 years agoFeedbro is definitely my favourite feed reader for Firefox. My only gripe with it is that you can't seem to disable loading images in articles, which I remember I could do in some old XUL based feed readers, thus the 4 stars. Otherwise I have no complaints: it offers a ton of customizability in terms of appearance, layout and font type and size, and it loads new feeds instantly without impacting on the browser performance.

posted 4 years agoEDIT: Feedbro 4.6.2 at least partially supports the new UI (version is currently in review queue). Parser will be enhanced in the following versions.
Working on it. If use enable "Classic UI" in Facebook settings, some groups/pages might still work for a while. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13917509, 4 years agosome way to sync between browsers would be great
- Rated 4 out of 5by monkeylove, 4 years agoPlease add a a default scan interval of 10,080 minutes (one week).
- Rated 4 out of 5by rafaelsgarbulho, 4 years agoThis is great, clean and have a nice filter feature but I have a suggestion: Please add a mark all read button at the bottom of the popup window

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10820124, 4 years agoIt works, it's light, it's complete and it's simple.
As far as I'm concerned, the one thing it lacks for a 5 stars rating is automatic cross-device sync, but it's otherwise great and I'm suggesting it to all friends who use and love RSS feeds - Rated 4 out of 5by FireFaux, 4 years agoConstant duplicate of entries i already marked as read, specially YouTube feeds.
It's been 2 days of the same videos popping up again and again, i have marked as read the same videos more than 10 times already.Developer response
posted 4 years agoApologies for this. We have submitted a fixed version but it's in the Mozilla Add-on Review queue. Hopefully comes available soon. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12621326, 4 years agoEDIT: Thanks, I already know that. But if I mark everyone as read, they remain in the reader. I want to be able to DELETE them. Sometimes I have been away for a long time and then a lot of old feeds accumulate, and deleting takes a long time if I delete one by one.
Excellent add-on, highly configurable, really helpful, clever, time saver.
But please add an option to mark and delete all all feeds or only for a site at a time.Developer response
posted 4 years agoEDIT: Ok, got it! Added this idea to the Product Backlog!
You can right-click the feed in the feed tree and select "Mark All Items as Read". Also the green checkmark icon will mark either the feed or the entire folder read when you click it. - Rated 4 out of 5by Vladislav Atrashkov, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by jg-staffel, 4 years agoA great addon, but skips half of the news from the feed https://pikabu.ru/xmlfeeds.php?cmd=popular

posted 4 years agoFeedbro doesn't really skip any articles but that feed looks like a relatively "high frequency" feed which has lots of entries during the day. For example if at night your computer is off, Feedbro can't scan the feed so if the XML provides only latest 20 entries and during the time off more than 20 new entries are posted, there's a chance to "not see" some articles. You can fix this by selecting "Feedly" to the "Proxy" setting when adding the feed. This will load the feed using Feedly as a proxy that stores all entries 24/7.
