posted 2 years agoThis won't be implemented. The reason is that the number on the Feedbro WebExtension icon tells the number of unread articles. The user might very well want to retain that information even after clicking the icon and reading a few articles. That's because the number would then remind the user that there are still some unread left.
If you want that number to go away, you can always use "Mark all as read" (first select the "All Items" main menu item and then click the green checkmark icon or press Shift+a) which will then mark all unread articles as read.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Westerly, 2 months agoI love this add-on, but the lack of a search function is a massive inconvenience. If you have a lot of feeds it becomes next to impossible to find specific ones, or to troubleshoot problems with particular feeds. While you can do a browser 'find' to get feed titles, there's no ability to search for feed URLs, for example.
This becomes a massive problem if a feed becomes compromised or generates errors (as happens often enough to be an issue), because the error message or security software warning will give only the URL of the offending feed, making it next to impossible to actually find the problem feed and remove it (at least, not without going through hundreds of feeds manually one-by-one until you find the problem - something that would easily take hours to do).
It seems like such basic functionality, it's frustrating that I can't search the information that the add-on has gathered - feed name, url, etc.
Another frustrating issue is that it's very difficult to organize feeds when moving to a new device. I used to have all of my feeds arranged neatly in folders based on genre, etc. and when I tried to transfer all that over, it did not export my folder hierarchy, it only exported the feeds themselves. I now face hours of re-sorting them, and the tools for sorting are not great.
Having said all that, I use this add-on avidly and have for years. At its core I believe it's the best add-on of its kind available for Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by narancasta, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18654531, 2 months agoThis is great thank you! All the rule options are very handy, especially adding points and sorting by points. It would be even better if we could see the total number of points that each item got. Cheers
- Rated 2 out of 5by Aenfa, 2 months agoNot available in Private Browsing Mode. Bummer. You need to respect our privacy.
The popup that shows when clicking on the extension icon also doesn't show the authors and there's no way of dismissing all items at once so takes something like 25 clicks to dismiss 20 items. Very disappointing. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18640445, 2 months ago
