    Made my day when I saw brief was updated
  • by GWu, 7 years ago
    I'm using Brief for years now and I can really recommend it.

    Big thanks to the developer for migrating this to WebExtensions and FF57+ !

    Yay! Brief is back! Love this extension. Simple, straightforward, and works well. Had moved away from it due to it not being maintained, and used Bamboo. Had to shift to away from that because of FF57. Used FeedBro for a few days, hated it. Glad to see Brief show up in the supported FF57 extensions. Made my day!

    I love Brief!
    An extremely good extention of rss reading.
    I do not really need a lot of so called various functions, but to alert me if things I\ve subscribed get updated is enough.
    Recommend Brief to you if you need a rss subscriber rather than a file manager.

    Great! Very nice and easy-to-use. Replaces my former RSS reader with FF57. I only noticed that I can't export feeds into an OPML file... Nothing happens.

    Export to OPML works for me correctly, so if you could come to Github and report it there with the error messages from console that the attempt produces, you would be welcome.

    Wonderful add-on.
    Ver. 2.5.0, it does work finely with FF Quantum on Windows 10,
    but it doesn't work correctly on Mac OS X 10.12.6. Any actions by mouse clicking do not work on my Mac.
    I could not find the cause of this phenomena...


    Update1:
    Thanks for the reply.
    I have refreshed the FF Quantum on Mac, after that it does work correctly!

    So I have tested something on another Mac.
    When I just upgraded from FF56 to 57, I faced the same trouble.
    But after the refreshment of FF57, the add-on works finely.


    Update2:
    I have checked my previous setting of FF.
    And I found it happens when I select the private browsing mode or unclick the checkbox for save cookies.
    The same situation occurs on Windows10 as well.

    Sorry, I don't have access to a Mac to test it. Would be nice if someone who can reproduce this problem came to Github and helped diagnose it.

    Update: yes, it's a known problem that Brief 2.5 requires permission to set cookies (which also controls database access required by Brief) and thus can't work in private mode or never-save-cookies mode. You may try adding Brief's address (moz-extension://something) to exceptions, but I haven't checked that mode yet.

    Tellement simple, et tellement pratique en même temps. Merci pour la mise à jour pour FF 57!

    Najlepszy z czytników.
    Automatycznie odznaczy i usuwa z listy otwarte linki. Nie wiem dlaczego ale inne testowane czytniki tego nie robiły na bieżąco.

    Пробовал разные RSS-читалки в качестве альтернативы Brief, но всё не то. Brief лучше других (для меня). Желаю скорейшего возвращения в строй после FF 57
