- Rated 5 out of 5by dev421, 7 months agoDoes what it says on the tin. GPL, no permissions, which is great! Make sure to read the FAQ about why the icon is always visible.
- Rated 4 out of 5by CherKab, 4 years agothanks a lot for this app with the minimun level of data accessing to my web navigator.
- Rated 3 out of 5by 12bytes, 4 years agowould be much more useful if it created feed links for YouTube, Vimeo, BitChute, Steemit, etc. channels - all these platforms have feeds, it's just a matter of grabbing the channel name and adding the necessary string to the URL
also i don't see where it makes sense to display the icon all the time - why not run the script *after* the document is loaded and display the icon only if a feed is foundDeveloper response
posted 4 years agoThanks for the feedback.
I understand the desire for wanting support for constructing feed URLs for sites that don't link to their feeds. Boring RSS is intended to be simple to maintain and predictable, so constructing feed URLs is not a suitable usecase for Boring RSS. Websites are responsible for including links to their feed in HTML headers.
I'm also disappointed that this extension always shows an icon. I'd rather it didn't, but to be able to decide whether to show the icon would require "Access to all data on your sites" permission (since that's needed to be able to search the page at any time). I've added a more detailed explanation of this to the description.
