- Rated 4 out of 5by Louis, 4 years agoJ'adorerais mettre les 5 étoiles, le détail qui m'embête c'est que les notifications n'affiche pas les titres d'articles, uniquement le nombre. J'aimerais en cliquant sur la notification, être redirigé vers l'article sur le site web. Ça serai moins contraignant et ça rendrais Brief vraiment indispensable. Merci pour votre travail.

- Rated 5 out of 5by aforest, 5 years agoThis is great, thank you so much! It would be very nice to have keyboard shortcuts to change between the feeds.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15647507, 5 years agoBest feed reader there is.
For me, the only missing feature is an ability to edit the feed's URL. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12984996, 5 years agoI have been using this extension for a long time. Easy to use.
- Rated 5 out of 5by luprobert, 5 years agoGreat extension, I've been using it for a long time.
I have created a Dark Mode version for myself. If someone wants, can use the CSS i have modified.
Here is a link for Dark Mode:

Hope you find it useful! - Rated 5 out of 5by Léa Gris, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15322738, 5 years ago1. Search option not working for a long time!
2. Exporting or importing data from Brief not working!
3. Sometimes deleted article froze on top spot, so you must refresh page to remove it.
Other than above, this is great add on for RSS content. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15321914, 5 years agoThis is one of the best FeedReader i've seen. The only thing i'm missing from the old version is the ability to search (the field is there but does nothing/no input possible) and a nice "Dark Mode". Then it would be perfect for me :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by cor, 5 years agoLove it, to an extent. Been using it for years, the advent of Quantum 57 caused a bit of a panic when it became no longer available. The trouble is.. feed loading is slow and causes a massive spike in disk usage, I can't really do anything else while feeds load. Is this normal?... I deleted many feeds, tried just loading individual folders, re-installing, but the problem persists. I've been tolerating it for quite awhile, because the layout is superior to most, and I waited for a solution to come via update, but none yet. So Is there anything I can do on my end to solve this?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15267821, 5 years agoPerfect until firefox 69 ... No more update. I hope the problem is temporary. Thank you
- Rated 5 out of 5by Salah, 5 years agoA very good addon, I'm using it since 2010, but lately I start having a problem with the page direction, because I have feeds in both Arabic and English context and it doesn't appear well since it prevents the "switch page direction", Please fix it asap because I don't want to use any other RSS addon
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15215225, 5 years agowould be nice if any of the instructions for adding a feed were current. Hard to use when you can't any content -go ahead try to add the bbc feeds using your instructions. already moving on to some thing else.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15210439, 5 years agoNone of buttons are working
I click everywhere and nothing happens
I'm on Android with latest Firefox version
Boring !!!!!!!! 😓
Edit : So, did you test it ?Developer response
posted 5 years agoBrief is developed and tested on desktop Firefox for now and I'm actually surprised one can install it on Android at all. Will test it on Android when I have time. - Rated 5 out of 5by Dem1se, 5 years agoJust too many permissions, otherwise great extension. Still works in Firefox 68 even though the screenshots look awfully old.
Developer response
posted 5 years agoMost of the permissions are required for Brief to work, unfortunately. The ones that could be optional are bookmark access (used because items starred in Brief are the ones bookmarked in Firefox, which could be changed), notifications (feed update notifications are enabled by default), downloads access (optional for now, but will be needed to implement automatic backup). All the worst ones - access data for all sites, access tabs, store unlimited data - are the ones required for a feed reader with long-term storage of the feed entries to work in Firefox.
If you have ideas how to make Brief work without requesting these, would be cool to hear them on the Brief's GitHub issue tracker. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13373541, 5 years agoI had to re-install at update to 2.6.0, all buttons not worked.
But now, everything work smoothly, Thank you for this useful add-on! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15057071, 5 years ago非常好的插件! 建议增加几个功能:1.消息搜索功能(目前的搜索框不能激活). 2.界面再增加一列 消息标题列,参考thunderbird 布局里的直视图. 3.增加消息的导入导出功能.
