by Jerry, 5 years agoI really love this reader and been using it for years but ever since the firefox changes many moons ago stuff has broken, and I still can't fix even with the new latest Firefox browser Quantum 67.0.2 64bit. Like one feature I loved was the search bar it doesn't let me search for a news story with in my groups. I can't for the life of me create new folders for each group of feeds such as tv shows or news storys about technology. it just wants to create one super folder. I have no idea where the feeds are stored in the bookmarks.
any help would be great as I feel this is the one and only RSS feeder that works and doen't need a subscription based service.
The creators have done a great job on it, just too bad firefox had to change it's programming so it can't work with new versions.

posted 5 years agoThe feeds are no longer stored in bookmarks, but in the Brief's internal database. You can create folders by switching to the Organize mode, clicking a "..." entry and entering the name of the folder to be created.
Yes, search is not yet available, sorry about that. Hope to restore it in a few versions.

posted 6 days agoThank you for the feedback. As far as I know there's currently no way to do this in a reasonable and secure enough way. I'm tracking related issues and will recheck whether something has changed to allow this.
If you're interested, this request is being tracked here: https://github.com/brief-rss/brief/issues/341 - Rated 5 out of 5by djarr, 11 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Guido, a year agoI have used brief for several years, and think it's great. For the past 2 days it will not load any sites - it's just blank. Suggestions?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12685044, 2 years agoAny updates on the search box?
This feeds reader is the best and most flexible you could possibly find for browsers, in my opinion. It was fantastic, until the search box stopped working. The search box is the absolutely essential base part of this reader. It enabled searching through abstracts and reduce the posts only to matches. Otherwise, reading through 10000 entries per day is impossible. Almost 5 years past, but the search option still not working. I'd be willing to pay the developers to get the search box working. - Rated 3 out of 5by użytkownik, 2 years agoDodatek używam od bardzo dawna ale ostatnio coś się popsuło. Wersja brief 2.6.1 - Firefox: 102.0.1 64bit,
OS: Linuks 64bit. Kiedyś automatycznie otwierało nową kartę po kliku np. na ">" - teraz nie!, a ostatnio automatycznie brief kasuje czytaną wiadomość po wyświetleniu jej. Po dodaniu do zakładek, również kasuje wiadomość po wyświetleniu - raczej tak nie powinno być!.
Dlaczego tak się dzieje teraz?.
EDIT!. ff. 103.0
Oznaczenie wiadomości jako przeczytana również ją kasuje - w zakładkach także.
Dodatek pomału staje się uciążliwy w użytkowaniu - jak rozwiązać te problemy? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16861328, 2 years agoHave used this for years and still my favourite, but as mentioned before I cannot re-order my feeds anymore. Can anyone help?

- Rated 4 out of 5by tama, 3 years agoGreat addon! I really enjoy it.
But one thing I wish to be fixed. Brief doesn't work when I move my firefox profile from default folder to other drive . - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14200416, 3 years agoSeems to be broken. Cannot subscribe to feeds at all, as the mechanism for subscribing seems to be absent. I cannot set Brief as my default RSS reader. Sorry, brief, this one needs some work before it can become useful.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Pavel, 4 years agoSQLite database of this add-on has became 500MB after several years of usage. Deleting of old items does not help to shrink database :(
- Rated 4 out of 5by Louis, 4 years agoJ'adorerais mettre les 5 étoiles, le détail qui m'embête c'est que les notifications n'affiche pas les titres d'articles, uniquement le nombre. J'aimerais en cliquant sur la notification, être redirigé vers l'article sur le site web. Ça serai moins contraignant et ça rendrais Brief vraiment indispensable. Merci pour votre travail.
