Drop Feeds RSS by dauphine-dev

Rated 4 out of 5
by Firefox user 14374652, 6 years agoIt looks like this will be a good replacement for Sage in time. It is very nice to have a sidebar feedreader back. However, it seems to still be rather buggy. I wasn't able to change the folder it used from Drop Feeds to my old RSS Feeds folder for example, nor to the old default Sage Feeds folder.
One major downside is that it doesn't allow you to use Livebooksmarks in the way that Sage did. This was an issue with the reader I had before Sage, but thought it had always worked with Sage. However, I'm finding this MIGHT be due to a Firefox issue, so I'm not taking a point off the rating for it.
That said, it doesn't have all the features of Sage, including some moderately important ones like a way to mark all items in a feed read with a button.

About :
- "it doesn't allow you to use Livebooksmarks in the way that Sage did":
Yes you are right. When I have started Drop Feeds I have tried to use Livebooksmarks, but with WebExtension API I haven't access to Livebooksmarks url, without url I can do nothing, then I have use classic bookmarks (but may be I have missed some thing, if any one reading that know then please tell me, but any way If I have well understood Livebooksmarks will be stopped in Firefox 64)
- "I wasn't able to change the folder it used from Drop Feeds to my old RSS Feeds folder for example, nor to the old default Sage Feeds folder":
Yes, you are right again. It 's because Sage was using Livebooksmarks, and like I said upper Drop Feeds can't manage them correctly with WebExtension API.
Then you have use OPML export from Sage and OPML import in Drop Feeds.
- missing important features like a way to mark all items in a feed read with a button.
To see the the items toolbar you have to check the option "Items/Feed item list toolbar", you will get a button to mark all items in a feed read.
But may be I haven't understood what you talk about, then me more about, and I will add the missing feature in the next version.
Thank you :-)
