Feedbro - RSS Feed Reader by Nodetics

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 13683250, 6 years agoDoes the job, but missing critical features: preload next post, jump to specific feed from article.
Edit: Thanks Nodetics. I was aware of the link to the source site on the "from"-line; there is no way to go direct to the _feed_ of a particular post while in the "All Items" view.
As for preloading, what is it a waste /of/? A waste of my bandwidth for the single next post I didn't read, or a waste of my time spent waiting for each and every new post to begin and finish loading?
Edit 2: I don't want to open the feed XML URL, but the feed itself within Feedbro. E.g., I see a particular article in the All Items view, then I want to stop reading All Items and read only that particular feed, within Feedbro.
The viewmode I use (and that needs the preloading feature) is #3, "List of article titles + selected article".
Edit 3: Thanks Nodetics! Perhaps some words & a link, placed at the end of the existing "from"-line, e.g.:
from _reddit: the front page of the internet_ _(Open Feed)_
or
from _reddit: the front page of the internet_ _(Open Site)_
Not sure which would be more popular - keeping the site name link pointed to the site, or switching it to the feed. FWIW, another aggregator (NewsBlur) doesn't link to site homepages from articles, but only from the site's feed.

posted 6 years agoEdit: you can now click the feed icon on the "from line" (if you have "Use favicons in the article 'from line'" enabled in Options) to open that particular feed in Feedbro.

- Rated 3 out of 5by arsentical, 22 days agoMissing several features like the ability to undo deletions or have nested folder structures. These are things that really annoy me from time to time, but the rest of the functionality is good enough that I do recommend it. At the very least the developers do seem to be very open about bugs and other info.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13513971, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 3 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, 3 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 3 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, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by skribe, 4 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, 4 months agoUseful, I just wish it had a licence and a source repository
- Rated 2 out of 5by fbeith, 5 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, 5 months ago
