FEEDBRO is a hell of thousand tracking cookies invading privacy. Nowadays this is also a dangerous cybersecurity problem.

I tested FEEDBRO by blocking all cookies in FF. And all my feeds worked perfect at FEEDBRO. No cookies at all.
But the problem is that I need cookies enabled at FF.
So, if FEEDBRO works with cookies blocked, why FEEDBRO doesn't block cookies by it self?

In fact, in the option or settings page, FEEDBRO can block scripts, objects, applet, iframe, embed... but not cookies! Why is that?
FEEDBRO needs a simple option to load articles as text-only, or a simple option for blocking cookies. This will improve resources, and will solve privacy and security risks.

* Cookie add-ons are not working over cookies of other add-ons. Cookie AutoDelete doesn't work on FEEDBRO. I tested other different cookie addon-s and all of them don't recognize FEEDBRO as a "tab" or "window". The best scenario with these cookie add-ons is deleting cookies when FF closes, but dangerous FEEDBRO cookies might live hours and days. UMatrix is the only add-on deleting localstorage before FF closes, but is ridiculous to install 2MiB only because of FEEDBRO.

* I have more than 200 feeds, so is impossible to white-list cookies. Also, FF built-in cookies manager doesn't allow to import/export or synchronized blocked/unblocked cookies. No one is going to expend days doing this inefficient task.

** I am raising my stars qualification considering author' predisposition to: a) Solve problems b) Attend user requests c) Quick answers. Thank you.

** 2MiB is not a matter of size in the HD, but it is a huge matter of browser system resources. And in principle, isn't right to force the use of other add-ons in order to use FEEDBRO.
FEEDBRO perfectly can work without cookies. And not approved cookies are a big privacy and security issue. So, a simple option loading articles as text-only is the perfect solution. Thank you.

Does 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.

Greetings. The criticisms are good because they help you understand what you should improve, but I personally do not agree with some that have been made to this addon. Currently this is one of the best feed readers. I have previously used Bamboo feed Reader, very good as well, but not compatible with Quantum.
And that the developer provides support for Quantum, that says a lot about it. This addon is among the best feed readers currently.

JEJEJE, now.
It would be possible to add to future versions the possibility of limiting the amount of feed that is loaded at the same time, example, one at a time, or two at a time, or all at the same time?

Thanks for the best RSS reader on the web! You guys rock

Well done, this extension is user friendly, easy to use and import OPML, also easy to customize. I like the preset ways to view feeds.

Hello,

I really like the feedreader, but I have ideas for improvement:
- Not a true sidebar (don't know if this is a limitation of the Quantum Firefox API)

- Other readers show the top 20 or 30 title under the bookmark in the sidebar (so the current tab is free)
I pin the TAB, and switch back occassionally but the sidebar solution is much more elegant
Since the design of the folders seems to be already be a tree (open close folders) this should be easy

- The view mode 3 and 6 show "Feed Text" and then second Line the source. This is quite a waste when I clicked on one bookmark, since I know which feed I clicked ;) It would be enough to show "Icon of Source" + "Feed Text" as an option. This would give lots of screen space back, especially when on a large screen.

- I would like to have a variant of mode 3 with small texts (and Icon mode ;), then add a column for every other feed. So I would have
Feed 1 | Feed 2 | Feed 3. Refreshing the feeds would add a new entry to the relevant feed. There are people with wide or even multiple monitor setups who could simply watch 20 feeds move around aday ;)

Thanx alot for this.

Great rss app, thank you very much!

I am however experiencing a few issues with it:

- media autoplay: pages with videos or audio frequently begin playing them as soon as the article is loaded. It would be nice if there were a setting to disable this, or it were disabled by default.

- page redirects: some sites attempt to take you to their website automatically when the article is clicked on. It would be nice if this could be prevented, even if only the headline is shown. I've simply had to remove these feeds from the reader (eg. engadget)

wishlist item...

- feedly integration: it would be very nice if it were possible to get our feeds from a service like feedly, this way it is easy to have the
same feeds across devices.

- duplicate articles: some news sites have many feeds which can contain duplicate articles. it would be nice if there were an option to not show and mark as read duplicate articles (articles with the same title?) (eg. reuters)

Thanks!

1) When enable view mode 2 (just headers) and set "Mark article as read" as "when bottom article arrived" header not change unread style to read one, before reload feed. Just change counter into feeds tree.

2) Also add mark article as read "when article is open / shown" from view mode 2.

Thanks

I like it works great

Bug:

Cannot add reddit RSS feeds, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/.rss
See: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/rss


Some feature requests:

- Option to turn of keyboard shortcuts.
- Ability to undelete an article within either X second or before changing to a new category (folder).
- A choice of icons for the toolbar button, for example the default RSS icon in Firefox to fit inline with the other toolbar buttons.
- Improve view mode 2 by adding a small thumbnail of the associated article image to the left of each article in the list (a blank space if no thumbnail to keep the list aligned).

Looks like a good replacement for Sage, however Id' also suggest a compact, no-frills "two-column, left one split into upper and lower half" layout: https://imgur.com/a/dslQ8

The current "Layout 3" comes closest to this, but it wastes way too much space.

Thanks!

Great extension, very useful, stylish and comfortable!

great addon.
I was a strong user of SAGE, only problem detected is time to update the feeds.

Great, works awesome, I keep the reader open as a pinned tab and it has totally replaced my liveclick extension which didn't make it to FF57. Thanks Feedbro!

I did 10 minutes trying to find a feedbro forum or somewhere to post a problem and get help, but I couldn't find anything. I know review section on FF site is not the place but what else can I do. About 2 updates ago for some reason Feedbro lost all my subscriptions and rules and totally reset. I don't know if this could have happened due to a Firefox sync that I did. Anyway since then one of my feeds (I added them back) seems to be stuck repeating. I can literally reload it every then seconds and it loads feeds from a few days ago in groups of two or three until getting to the current one then repeating. It also removes the newly loaded feed feed from its old position in the list, so there are no visible duplicates. It's like the track of a tank just going in an endless cycle. It's only the one feed and only since I had to replace it after I lost the feed originally. The site itself doesn't have many new updates so I haven't seen how it works when an ACTUAL new feed comes along. I have deleted and reloaded the feed numerous times... I'm pretty sure nothing has changed on the site in question (predb.me). I would appreciate any help with this issue, because it bugs me that every hour there is are a couple 'new' feeds but when I check it's the same ones from that one site.

Edit: Also, where is the 'known issues' section on the 'front page' mentioned in a reply to another user here? What front page exactly?

Die Rettung für RSS-Feeds seit FF57.

I was using LiveClick, but this add-on is far more powerful.

The ONLY thing missing in this addon is subfolders and better folder management (folders being listed should appear alphabetically, for an example). Other than that, fantastic addon. Absolutely a keeper.

Witam ponownie :) Tym razem daję 5 gwiazdek. Dzięki Twoim poprzednim radom udało mi się umieścić i dostosować wszystkie moje zakładki z RSS. Mam ewentualnie jedną prośbę na przyszłość - byłoby super, gdyby można było dodawać nie tylko foldery, ale także podfoldery. Ale to już moja fanaberia :) Bardzo dziękuję za ten dodatek, który pozwala mi jakoś przeboleć stratę LiveClick.
Pozdrawiam
Hello again :) This time I give 5 stars. Thanks to your previous advice I was able to put and customize all my bookmarks with RSS. I have one more request for the future - it would be great if you could add not only folders, but also subfolders. But this is my fanaberia :) Thank you for this add-on, which allows me somehow to lose the LiveClick loss. Regards
