by Anatoli, 8 years agoHi! Nice add-on, thank you!
I've just experiencing one problem with my FF56@Ubuntu: when I right-click on the feeds in the tree view on the left, I get a common menu as on any page, but the help says I would get a menu to rename the feed and perform other actions. Could this be due to NoScript and uBlock origin? Of is this something with FF56?
It would be a 6-stars add-on if you could allow to place feeds on the bookmarks menu the same way the LiveClick add-on does it. I guess it won't take that much effort having the back-end already implemented. I suppose it could be placed there with drag&drop from the tree-view and with a checkbox from the feed options. You could get all their users with this feature as LiveClick won't be rewritten for WE (I'm one of them).
A small suggestion: could you please place the favicon of the feed below each article title (i.e. in "from ") and (optionally, with a check in settings) make the the same as the name one choses for the feed? E.g. for https://thehackernews.com feed I see now: "from The Hacker News by noreply@blogger.com (Mohit Kumar)". It could be replaced by: " ".

posted 8 years agoThank you for your review and comments!
The right-click problem is a bit tricky to pin down. A few other users have reported it as well but we haven't been able to reproduce it on our Linux installations. Hard to say what is causing it. 3.30.0 has one extra preventDefault() call. Hopefully it fixes that issue for you. Please also ensure that in about:config you have key 'dom.event.contextmenu.enabled' set to true. If it's false, it disables right-click context menus.
Regarding the favicon suggestion there's now a new Option 'Use favicons in article "from line"' that enables the icons in view mode 2 and when expanding articles in other modes. Off by default because it can make the list look a bit "busy".

- Rated 5 out of 5by rgfcesar, 18 days agoA powerful extension that's worth an entire app. It can import OPML, divide feeds into folders, RSS reading panel... Really very complete. Congratulations to the developer for the product.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Narendran Gopalakrishnan, 21 days agoThe best among those I have tried. Recently chrome blocked it due to MV3, and I switched to Feedbro on Firefox, but find that Alt+{1,2,3,4,5} of firefox are overridden when on the Feedbro page. A minor hitch.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11114990, a month agoOpen 'All Items' view at start [X] Activated is mandatory.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jean-Michel Molinas, a month agoI like very much this applications but it is the third time I lost all my feed subscriptions (windows update, firefox synchronisation) and I found there is no way to save automatically my feed subscriptions somewhere I could find it in case of breakdown. Please could you implement such a feature?

- Rated 3 out of 5by AverageJoe, 2 months agoUI is somewhat counterintuitive; when I added a feed to "Root", its contents populated the extension's menu (when you click its icon in the extension menu), not what I would have expected-that's all. Seems adding all your feeds to one menu is not what most people would want to do (probably should be an option there to create a new folder). The options UI has gratuitous animations, with no apparent option to turn off animations.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Korwin, 2 months agoList of feeds when choosing a dark theme:
Foreground: #777777
Background: #111111
Contrast ratio: 4.217:1
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)
Pass for large text only. Fail for regular text
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced) (AAA)
Fail for large and regular text
When choosing the sepia theme:
Foreground: #777777
Background: #3D291B
Contrast ratio: 3.062:1
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA)
Pass for large text only. Fail for regular text
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced) (AAA)
Fail for large and regular text
When selecting a folder from the article preview card, it is unclear which feed it belongs to, and there is no way to quickly delete the corresponding feed as no longer interesting.
When selecting Statistics, some feeds are immediately marked as Selected. Why?
RMB in the news list unexpectedly works like SMB.
There is no cloud syncing of feeds via browser, nor via Google Drive/Dropbox connection.
Mozilla Firefox 140.0b1 (64-bit), Feedbro 4.16.3 (Mar 24, 2024), Microsoft Windows 10.0.19045.5854. - Rated 4 out of 5by andrenix, 3 months agoIt is very good, almost perfect. The rules feature is very complete.
Unfortunately it lacks a "search" feature (or I couldn't find it), which would be very useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dra Vu, 3 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jay, 3 months agolove it! but can we get an option to prevent the theme from changing the colors of the html article content? a lot of my articles look all weird because the theme is changing the background color
