Released Sep 29, 2026 - 128.14 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterVersion 0.5.4
• Follow any feed you open: viewing an RSS or Atom feed directly in your browser now shows a Follow button.
• Finds more feeds: RSS links on a page are recognised, not just feeds declared in the page header.
• New "Follow this site" button: on pages without a visible feed, FeedBro looks for the site's feed and follows it for you.
• Right-click → Follow now works on any page, instead of sending you to settings when no feed was found.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Older versions
Version 0.5.3
Released Sep 24, 2026 - 122.27 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later0.5.3 is 0.5.2 with two fixes:
• Connecting your account opens the Extension tab in settings, rather than
landing on Reading.
• In Cards, the thumbnail moved to the right-hand side so every headline
starts at the same left edge. Previously an article with a picture
indented its title and one without did not, which made a mixed list step
in and out down the page.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 0.5.2
Released Sep 24, 2026 - 122.88 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterNew in 0.5.2
• A full-page reader. Open it from the toolbar button or with Alt+Shift+R: your
folders on the left, articles in the middle, the full article text in place —
no need to leave for the website.
• The extension now fetches articles itself, in your browser, instead of asking
our server to fetch them. Sites that only answer to a real browser — intranet
pages, anything behind a company login, feeds that block data-centre traffic —
work now, because the request comes from your machine with your own cookies.
This uses an optional permission that is requested from a button inside the
extension, never at install time, and can be withdrawn at any point.
• What the reader extracts is saved to your FeedBro account, so an article you
have already opened reads the same on your phone or on the website.
• Per-feed controls: rename a feed, set how often it refreshes, how many
articles to keep, and the sort order — per feed, and only for you.
• Light, dark and sepia themes, plus keyboard shortcuts (j/k, m, s, o, ?), both
shared with the website through your account.
• Collections, read-later and unread counts stay in step with feedbro.com in
both directions.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
Version 0.1.9
Released Sep 22, 2026 - 58.55 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and laterVersion 0.1.9
The right-click menu now says "Fix this page on FeedBro". It works on articles and on RSS/Atom feed pages.
Fixing a feed page that FeedBro's servers can't reach now updates that feed straight from what your browser shows.
Clearer messages after a fix: "Updated … from your browser — N new articles" for feeds you already follow, and "Now following …" for new ones.Source code released under All Rights Reserved
