Define the update checker settings, new tab behaviour (for opening feeds), switch to various themes including a dark theme. By Harry Guinness JIf you want to really follow a publication, writer, or something else online and see everything they publishnot just what some social media algorithm throws your waythe best way to do it is with an RSS reader. Drop Feeds stores your feeds in its own bookmarks folder which you can customize. The extension's options page has quite a few settings that you can toggle. Similarly, the article list (the second pane) has options to mark posts as read, unread, it also allows you to open unread articles in new tabs and hide the ones you've read. The info option lets you rename the feed or change its address. You can use this context menu to create different folders, mark a feed as read/unread, delete it. Subscribe or filter the feeds with the fourth and fifth icons. The second, as we saw earlier, discovers feeds from the current web page. The first icon on the top pane's toolbar refreshes all feeds. While it's useful for previewing a post, it's not very reader-friendly.

When you click on an article, a text-only version of it is loaded in the third pane. The middle pane in the sidebar lists all available articles from the current feed, and bold titles indicate unread articles. Selecting a different feed loads it in a new tab. You can close the Drop Feeds sidebar to read the current feed in the browser. This is a proper RSS reader, complete with images and clickable links. Click on a feed and the add-on opens it a new tab to load the latest articles, in the large pane to the right. A bold feed name indicates that it contains unread articles. Now that you've subscribed to a feed, it should appear in the top pane of the sidebar. Paste the RSS Feed link in the box and select subscribe. If you'd rather use a URL for adding a feed, click on the 'Options' button in the top pane (last icon on the toolbar), and select 'Subscribe by URL'. The way this works kind of reminds me of the Want My RSS extension, but Drop Feeds comes with its own reader, so that's a nice bonus. The second method is quite similar, after clicking the Drop Feeds button, you should notice an RSS icon in the address bar.Ĭlick on it to view the feeds detected by the extension, pick one and subscribe to it.įor some reason, only the 2nd method worked with our blog's feed. Select the one you want to subscribe to, the extension loads a preview of the feed in a pop-up window. There are three ways to add feeds: the first method is to click on the Discover Feeds button (magnifying glass icon) on the sidebar, it lists all available feeds, including comment feeds. So, how do you subscribe to feeds? Visit any website that has an RSS feed.

Drop Feeds has a three-pane sidebar, and a reader pane taking up the rest of the space. Once you have installed the extension, click on its button on the toolbar.

The extension supports RSS and Atom feeds. A good browser extension can offer the best of both worlds, that's what Drop Feeds does.
