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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14729715, 6 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by laclac1, 6 years agoVery good but this addon has an important problem for me. The folders aren't visible in the popup. You show a list of latest articles in the popup but everything is mixed and it's not sorting by folders. It's disappointed. I change by 5 stars if the folders are used in the popup. I will use feeder while waiting :(

posted 6 years agoIf you prefer the popup view, then there's the "Open Explorer" menu which will show the folder structure. - Rated 4 out of 5by syd1507, 6 years agoExcellent, until FF 66 : the "right-click for options" (on a feed title) seems to no longer work. The popup appears but closes when you release the right-click (in order to left-click & select the option)...
Feedbo 3.39.0 on Firefox 66.0 (64 bits) / LinuxDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoThis is caused by a recent regression bug in Firefox. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535068
We'll see if there's a way to get around this somehow but the problem is that it works fine on Windows but not on Linux or MacOS.
Workaround: open about:config and set "ui.context_menus.after_mouseup" to true. - Rated 5 out of 5by mdc73, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nibinaear, 6 years agoIt seems to work fine but seems to be missing a vital feature: search engine. I would like to find news articles with various keywords but there is no way to do it.
It seems to do tags, but this just lets you bookmark a news article using a word to go back to later. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14682338, 6 years agoUnfortunately, I cant use it only with keyboard, because page up/down in the middle panel doest work with keyboard (neihter spacebar nor pageup/down-keys).
Is there a way to get this functionality?Developer response
posted 6 years agoPlease see Feedbro help for a list of keyboard shortcuts. You can open the Help by clicking the ?-icon in the Feedbro toolbar. You can use j/k or shift-rightarrow/leftarrow to move between next/previous item on the list.
Page down/up and space bar affect the actual article view in viewmode 3 as intended. - Rated 4 out of 5by GregAMO, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by p3732, 6 years agoVery nice reader. Only two remarks:
- Newly added feeds should not be marked as unread, since the user just visited that feed to add it, thus is aware of its content.
- A more symbolic icon would make the addon look more modern (I can help if you are interested, reply, I will check this review and get in touch) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13916371, 6 years agoRSS, Atom, RDF has been progressively marginalised over the years by big corporations. Wonderful to be able to make use of this fantastic extension to get back our feeds in browser so conveniently and powerfully. Thank your dev!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Flush, 6 years agoКлассное дополнение, но есть одно НО! Хочется чтобы в любом из режимов отображения можно было найти подписки на открытых вкладках. И тогда будет 5 звезд, однозначно!

- Rated 5 out of 5by VirtuaSpectro, 6 years agoThe best feed reader out there! Great work!
I have one suggestion: A way to strip all styles from text, to have a better reading experience. Some feeds bring tags or styled paragraphs, and other come with mandatory black text that becomes unreadable on a dark background.
Thanks!Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for the review and feedback. We added the idea to the Product Backlog. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14623307, 6 years ago
