    Great, but how can I integrate it with feed-readers like Feedbro?

    Would it be possible to integrate the reader into the "Subscribe to this feed using..." box?

    The original feed is made available on the preview page, so you should be able to subscribe using the usual method of your feed reader extension while viewing the preview.

    This is a very cleanly done extensions, I'm impressed by the preview layout. It's a winner.

    I hope that it will support opening up feeds with an local application, too. But I can see if this somehow adds a security concern (an extension calling an external application), it isn't desirable.

    👍 A nice all-in-one solution that just works. It provides a toolbar button to discover feeds with a menu to select one, it renders the XML right in the browser and it even has a customisable subscribe button pre-configured with eight online services.

    Very good

    Cool, thanks for saving the day after Mozilla hung us out to dry yet again. Please emit a link rel="alternate" that points to the same URL so that my WebExtension feedreader gets a chance to subscribe too.

    Update: Thank you for the addition.

    Could you please email me the details, particularly what extension you use and how it works? Thanks.

    Does exactly what it says by displaying a clickable icon in the URL bar. Also allows to subscribe right from the preview with a bunch or readers, including my not very popular choice, NewsBlur.

    Great! Feed Preview is my Firefox rescuer (after Mozilla dropped RSS).

    Great Add-on. Would it be possible to have the option to choose either the orange icon or the grey icon? I prefer the orange icon as I like it to stand out when a page has an RSS Feed. Thanks

    I'll revisit this once themed page actions are implemented in Firefox.

    Thanks a lot Guido for this addon!

    Now that Firefox 64.0 has dropped support for RSS your addon is probably the best one available for RSS preview and 1-click subscription to web-based feed readers/aggregators like Inoreader/Feedly/etc.

    Great add-on, thanks! Would like to see a monochrome icon though, as the colored stands out: https://i.imgur.com/mcIXpsy.png

    My preferred offline feed reader is QuiteRSS. It seems that at the moment it's not possible to add a command to open it. Can you implement that?

    Yes, I was thinking about using a greyscale icon which does not stand out so much. But note that it will still look out of place when using themes since there currently is neither a way for addons to specify themed icons for page actions nor to use the browser's foreground and background color as native widgets do. The relevant bugs for that are: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1367042 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1409107

    And I'm afraid you'll have to resort to copy and paste when using an offline reader since it is impossible for web extensions to launch arbitrary user-configured executables.

    Great little addon. Just the right tool to look into a podcast feed without copying the URL into an external podcatcher. Of course also useful for looking into any other RSS-feed.
