by Firefox user 14998967, a year agoSeems not to work. RSS files are saved rather than opened; opening it gives the message that the XML file has no style information.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sebi, 3 months agoAnother open-source/hobby project that the developer has lost interest in and nobody wants to take over. Yes, I know, “do better, buddy”... Feedbro is an alternative, but that thing can't load a simple website.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17936016, 10 months agoNice but can we get option to sync extension data with Firefox Sync?
Developer response
posted 10 months agodue to the limited capacity of the sync storage that's not feasible to do, additionally at this point I'm not going to develop this extension further due to the limitations of the current API and changes coming with Manifest v3, while the timeframe for sunsetting v3 isn't set yet I'd rather focus on something that will work with v3 - Rated 4 out of 5by Nicholas Christopoulos, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jan Zapal, 3 years agoThis is a great addon! Thank you.
One small request. When a 'rss:item' has multiple 'dc:creator' fields, Smart RSS Reader shows only the first one. Would it be possible to show all?
Thanks again. - Rated 5 out of 5by i18n, 3 years agoI like this add-on very much and use it on the daily base.
What I do not like is, that the articles are shown with sans serif fonts and there is no way to change that. Sans, Serif and Mono would do it – shouldn't be made to complicated.
Would be nice to have that opportunity, because long texts are better read with serif style fonts. ;-) - Rated 5 out of 5by Freddy , 3 years agoThanks for this great add-on! It looks and functions very well!
Just two small nitpickings:
- when one closes the Smart RSS tab (through any means) the icon disappears from the toolbar for a fraction of a second;
- and when one tries to refresh the tab (with Ctrl+R or F5) it is closed instead.
Other than that, I think it's perfect!
Thanks again!Developer response
posted 3 years agoThanks for great rating! Unfortunately these two issues come from design choices made early in the development stage and this is a workaround for issue causing whole extension to break after you close the view, changing that would require require most of the extension to be rewritten, I'm sorry for the trouble - Rated 3 out of 5by Mylk, 4 years agoAuto remove from trash is set to "never", items still disappear.

- Rated 5 out of 5by sanyy, 4 years agoI can't name another great addon like this one.
The only thing that i miss a one click "Mark All Read" button from the main window without user confirmation.
It is there 3 clicks away. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16190367, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Haven667, 4 years agoAs a long time user of the good old Newsfox reader (pre-Quantum), I tested a lot of the available readers. But this lovely thing here comes closest. A clean UI/ design, easy to use and low on resources. The preferences page gives many options to control the appearance and behaviour. Also the developer is very active and friendly, if you have problems or feature suggestions.
Thank you very much for this great extension, dear zakius. :-) - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14039052, 4 years agoSince Update June 17 extension works anymore on 3 Laptops. Before update fully 5 stars.
