Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 15230849, a year agoMany thanks for such an amazing gem and work!
Some ideas to consider in future versions / updates:
1. In View Mode 5, make it either automatically expanding / reducing the number of columns based on available space or make configurable (like 3, 4, 5, 6 columns). This is very helpful with large 4k screens.
2. In all View Modes, when viewing a folder with multiple feeds, would you enable the sorting / categorizing per feed? So, when you are browsing a folder of 10 feeds for example, it would be great to see the articles in this folder categorized by feeds and each category is sorted by time or points. So, grouping option for articles in a folder by "None" "By Feed" or "By Date".
3. It would be great to have an option to make articles read when scrolling with mouse. Currently, the articles are not set as read except if you move several pages until I press space bar. I think this only works if you enable the show Unread only.
4. In View Modes 3 and 5, it would be great to show the article image in a box to the right/left of the article list instead of just the icon.
5. In View Mode 3, it would be great to have an option when scrolling with mouse to the end of the current article to move the next one.
6. I noticed that Telegram channels is supported but you need to preview the channel to be able to recognize it. Some other reader platforms automatically detect that and add it. I think there will be like '/s/' between the telegram domain and the channel name to be recognized correctly.
7. It would be great to have the settings saved either locally to a backup file or through Firefox cloud to be able to take it to another device easily. Currently you have to export the rules and feeds, but I am not sure if it's possible to backup the other ones like tags and Saved Items.
8. It would be so great when viewing an item to have button to load full content for that item without going to the website.
9. It would be great to use Esc key to close an item beside the "Enter" key.
10. When reaching the last item in a feed, it would be great to prompt you to move to next feed and if you reach (read) the last item in a last feed in a folder to enable you to move to next folder. Great for people using mouse more than keyboard.
11. It would be great to have an option to make items with Older than x days to be read.
12. In View Mode 5, it would be nice to have an option to show the images at the top of the texts while unifying the sizes of the images. That should make so easy on the eye when moving through articles.
Keep it up :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13513971, a month agoI haven't touched an RSS Feeder in a while since most of them had clunky interfaces that were quite reliant on point-and-click. Thank goodness this RSS reader exists. It's definitely made with speed and efficiency in mind as stated in their About section! I LOVE shortcuts in any app I go with, and the devs actually understand how important shortcuts are! My favorite is the versatility of the feed view -- there are 6 options to choose from and I love how I can just scroll through full articles if I wanted to. The different view modes work perfectly if you're subscribed to different kinds of sites, like news articles to image-heavy sites or blogs. Interface is simple, no fuss and loads stuff really fast. Keeps my peace of mind! Thank you developers!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Steph Be-D, a month agoTo keep my feeds on a new browser, I exported an OPML file but I would like to be able to find my articles marked with a star. Is it possible ?
- Rated 2 out of 5by Gtbs, 2 months agoThe inability to set the extension as an about:home page and recommendation to "just not do this" is a dealbreaker.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Henna, 2 months agoMinus one star because of the lack of syncronisation. I lose my old saved feeds when I get a new computer :(
Edit/ I mean I would like to store old articles from my feeds.Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi Henna! If you open Feedbro Options page, you can export your feed subscriptions as OPML file. You can then import those subscriptions again if you get a new computer. It's good to take this backup occasionally. - Rated 5 out of 5by Duckjing, 2 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by skribe, 3 months agoA great addon. The only thing missing is autosync between devices, but that's not necessarily a showstopper.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Gersonzao, 3 months agoUseful, I just wish it had a licence and a source repository
- Rated 2 out of 5by fbeith, 4 months agoMesses up when tab is pinned -- thinks it's in Private mode??
Also, won't update (automatically or manually) after a while (days).
Sorry, this DID NOT work for me. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13366226, 4 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by sfertman, 4 months ago"IndexDB could not be started; your Firefox profile MUST be broken..." Okay then. Moving on.

posted 4 months agoFix for this is mentioned in Known Issues section F9. Unfortunately if the Firefox profile is corrupted, it's impossible to fix it from WebExtension code. Thank you for understanding. - Rated 5 out of 5by dxm112, 4 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Sapo Cururu, 4 months agoAfter searching a LOT for a free local RSS feed reader for PC, I found Feedbro. Keep up the good work, it's the best option out there in my opinion. :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16644607, 4 months agoPerfect extension! But one suggestion. Make block with "All items" till "Statistic" toggleable. On laptop screen it eat to much space. There almost not left room for feeds list items. Ideally move it to top bar. Bunch of switches in top bar can be replaced with dropdown selectors. Thanks. One more thing - nested folders. Or use not folders but multiple tag per feed. Cheers.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Charles Rathbone, 4 months agoWorks great, very fast even with hundreds of feeds. Excellent filtering functions. Keep up the good work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by cheese, 4 months agoThe best desktop RSS platform I've used. It has some quirks, but I prefer it over anything else. However, even though Thunderbird is not as good of an RSS platform I am switching to it to manage my feeds simply for the security of open source. If Nodetics ever decides to make Feedbro open source for whatever reason, id come back.
