by anarchofox, a year agoSorry, but why is this a recommended add-on by Firefox when the source code isn't available? Your privacy policy is meaningless. Your addon requires heft permissions and we can't see - for sure, not going by your word - what it does with them. This is not the sort of thing Mozilla should be recommending. If this is a "free" add-on, but not open-source, then users should suspect they are the product being sold, not the software.
Please provide source code. I would love to revise this review.

posted a year agoMozilla Add-on Store admins review each and every version of recommended extensions manually to ensure that they are 100 % safe by reviewing the source code that we submit.
Quote from Mozilla Recommended extensions page: "These chosen extensions undergo intense scrutiny in the form of manual security reviews. They're examined from every angle to ensure they meet our strict policies, leaving no room for compromise."
Since Feedbro is also available on Google and Edge add-on stores, their admins have reviewed the extension as well ensuring that it's completely safe. As stated, we do not gather any data about users or send anything to servers on the internet.
If you don't have faith in Mozilla Add-on Store reviewers, fine, but please don't spread FUD or make demands.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Westerly, a month agoI love this add-on, but the lack of a search function is a massive inconvenience. If you have a lot of feeds it becomes next to impossible to find specific ones, or to troubleshoot problems with particular feeds. While you can do a browser 'find' to get feed titles, there's no ability to search for feed URLs, for example.
This becomes a massive problem if a feed becomes compromised or generates errors (as happens often enough to be an issue), because the error message or security software warning will give only the URL of the offending feed, making it next to impossible to actually find the problem feed and remove it (at least, not without going through hundreds of feeds manually one-by-one until you find the problem - something that would easily take hours to do).
It seems like such basic functionality, it's frustrating that I can't search the information that the add-on has gathered - feed name, url, etc.
Another frustrating issue is that it's very difficult to organize feeds when moving to a new device. I used to have all of my feeds arranged neatly in folders based on genre, etc. and when I tried to transfer all that over, it did not export my folder hierarchy, it only exported the feeds themselves. I now face hours of re-sorting them, and the tools for sorting are not great.
Having said all that, I use this add-on avidly and have for years. At its core I believe it's the best add-on of its kind available for Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by narancasta, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18654531, a month agoThis is great thank you! All the rule options are very handy, especially adding points and sorting by points. It would be even better if we could see the total number of points that each item got. Cheers
- Rated 2 out of 5by Aenfa, 2 months agoNot available in Private Browsing Mode. Bummer. You need to respect our privacy.
The popup that shows when clicking on the extension icon also doesn't show the authors and there's no way of dismissing all items at once so takes something like 25 clicks to dismiss 20 items. Very disappointing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18640445, 2 months ago
