- Rated 5 out of 5by Ruben, 6 years agoI have a question. I want to keep some feeds articles for a long time, so how can I prevent articles from disappearing because of reaching the limit of articles?. I know that I can extend the limit, but I have feeds that have so many articles that this limit is easily overcome, so if I star an article or I set a tag in it, it will not disappear or those will be deleted too?. Is there any way to save articles forever?.

posted 6 years agoStarred articles won't be auto-deleted so theoretically they are kept "forever". However, Firefox still seems to have reliability problems with IndexedDB so it's recommended to save your important article links to e.g. Pocket as well (or some other service). See the "Send to" menu in the article context. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mauro, 6 years agoThis is a very useful extension. Remember a lot Google Reader and works very fine!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13274454, 6 years agoI switched from the abandoned NewsFox add-on to Feedbro when FF Quantum went live. Feedbro offers comparable features and I have used it daily since then. Good job !

- Rated 5 out of 5by tterac, 6 years agoI was using Reeder on Mac and was looking for one that works on Windows. I tried many RSS reader apps (including online apps, Windows native apps and browser extensions). Among them Feedbro is the only one that works with all my 250+ RSS URLs with no problem.

- Rated 5 out of 5by dpurple, 6 years agoMust-have extension for me, thank you for making it! My only question/suggestion would be if there is a way to export/import the starred items list?

Thank you for considering more light themes.
I checked the popup size again and it looks like even though the font size is changed the size of popup didn't actually change as much as I thought. Sorry for the confusion! You can change it back to previous bigger font size if you want (in fact I think I'm in favor of your bigger font change now too as it did make titles/text a lot easier to read). Ability to change font size for the popup in settings page could be a good addition. Thanks again for the splendid addon!Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks for the feedback! We'll adjust the popup text sizes and are working on a new theme. Setting for the font-size is a good idea and could be implemented. Expect to see improvements also to view mode 2 very soon.
Edit: Feedbro 3.41.2 (just released) has a new theme called "Chill". It's light but less bright than the "Light" theme. - Rated 5 out of 5by howaboutyou, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13221270, 6 years agoDoes this one rush to update all feeds at once? I mean, I have, let's say, 50 feeds from a certain website and updating 50 in one moment results into "service unavailable" errors for half of such feeds.
What does "Feed update threads" option do? Is it what I ask about, or not?Developer response
posted 6 years agoAs the tooltip for "Feed update threads" select box says, it defines the maximum number of concurrent threads when updating feeds. Thus the scenario you describe is not possible. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13182750, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13997275, 6 years agoMy first feed reader, very nice indeed... i'm just wondering why every feed just records 10 entries, even after setting "Maximum entries to save" to 50 or 100
Developer response
posted 6 years agoIf you open the feed in a normal browser tab, you can see that the XML content contains only the latest 10 articles. Feedbro can't initially load more articles than the feed provides. Later when new articles are published, the old ones are preserved until the "Max entries" number is reached. After that the oldest article is removed.
