posted 5 years agoIt doesn't work like that. Timezones are taken into account in date stamps. So any article will become immediately visible regardless of timezone differences as long as the timestamp of the article is not in the future. For example if some feed contains an article timestamped to year 2124, it won't become visible before that year is actually active. It sounds like in this case the feed posts some articles so that they are datestamped to the future.
If you want more clarity with this, please send the feed URL and your timezone info to feedbro.reader@gmail.com
EDIT: the reason Feedbro doesn't load articles that are timestamped to the future is that it would complicate many things. For example if you have a Rule that would popup a notification when a new article arrives, should that Rule trigger when an article is loaded that is timestamped in to the future? Probably not but then when should it trigger? That would then require some background scanning process to find articles that haven't been triggered by rules but are already in the database... etc. It would complicate and slow down the code quite a bit. Unless the feed is super floody, Feedbro will eventually load the article so it shouldn't really be an issue. And this is relevant for maybe 0.001% of the feeds out there so it's an obvious WON'T FIX decision.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18454566, 2 days agoBeen looking for a simple, free, in-browser feed reader since Google reader died. This is it.
Imported my opml export from my old reader. It handles my podcast feeds and news feeds and is very customisable. - Rated 5 out of 5by Gunnar, 3 days agoGreat feed reader, highly customizable. One detail I like is the titles view where you for example can scroll various news headlines for all feeds in a folder and check single teasers by clicking on the title bar (not on the title link).

- Rated 3 out of 5by arsentical, a month 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, 3 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, 4 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 4 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, 4 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by skribe, 5 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, 5 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.
