by Firefox user 13611267, 7 years agoGreat rss app, thank you very much!
I am however experiencing a few issues with it:
- media autoplay: pages with videos or audio frequently begin playing them as soon as the article is loaded. It would be nice if there were a setting to disable this, or it were disabled by default.
- page redirects: some sites attempt to take you to their website automatically when the article is clicked on. It would be nice if this could be prevented, even if only the headline is shown. I've simply had to remove these feeds from the reader (eg. engadget)
wishlist item...
- feedly integration: it would be very nice if it were possible to get our feeds from a service like feedly, this way it is easy to have the
same feeds across devices.
- duplicate articles: some news sites have many feeds which can contain duplicate articles. it would be nice if there were an option to not show and mark as read duplicate articles (articles with the same title?) (eg. reuters)
Thanks!

Developer response
posted 7 years agoThank you for the review.
Could you please send us URLs to blogs that have autoplay videos (feedbro.reader@gmail.com)? Feedbro does not automatically autoplay anything so it's always the feed markup that causes it. But perhaps there are cases that can be fixed. However, if the video is embedded using an iframe, there isn't much we can do.
Can you also send links to blogs that have those "page redirects". Note that in Feedbro you can expand the article in Feedbro if you click elsewhere in the article area (not the title).

- Rated 1 out of 5by emaloney, 17 days agoStopped working with eBay a few days ago. No response from Nodetics. Looks like it's dead in the water.
- Rated 4 out of 5by BethNicole, a month agoFirst Impressions are that it's exactly what I was looking for. I haven't found an empty feed option but I can live without thay.
- Rated 3 out of 5by McNamara, a month agoI wanted to get the feed article in full through your help file so that I could read the articles offline.
When only online, it just shows the web page.
After going offline, it searches the content by trying to connect again
Please let me know if you could improve it further. And provides the content offline
Then I don't have to search one which provides such feature

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14020785, a month agoThis has been the perfect feed reader for my needs, lots of functionality, except: I miss a way to move my starred articles over to a new browser installation. Is there a way to do this? Some of these articles are a couple of years old.

It would be sensational if the template changed automatically at sunset from light to dark. - Rated 5 out of 5by 远离中共邪教快退出党团队, 2 months ago

Can't make it work in private windows in spite of setting it to do so.
Couldn't find a way to give feedback to Nodetics - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13272506, 2 months agoSo far the best RSS add-on, but it definitely needs an undelete / recycle-bin option!
Edit 2025.03.16: Lately it keeps losing all messages (read/unread) messages after browser restart. Peeping for alternatives... - Rated 5 out of 5by corujo, 2 months agoDoes everything it says on the tin, it's simple and lightweight.
just needs an option to limit/block notifications on startup - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 11647180, 3 months ago
