It’s easier to have a backup and restore strategy on an standalone program. Some extensions, such as RSS readers, accumulate precious data as times go by. You have to wait and pray.Īnother problem with extensions is data backup. What other glaring mistakes lie in wait in Feedbro ? I don’t know. Extension developers get away with it, and you’re supposed to be thankful on top of that, because the darn thing is free. Overlooking sub-folders in a file explorer is a shootable offence. I have quite a few in my feed hierarchy.Īnd there goes again one of the main problems of a browser relying on extensions for core features : extension developers set the bar much lower than full-fledged publishers. – You can’t have sub-folders, apparently. Yeah, it’s not as pretty, but pretty comes second. Quite RSS crams much more information on the same area. – The list views take way too much space on the screen. – The interface has a blurry “image” look to it, even when text is concerned. It’s better than the other RSS extension I have tried, which was ridiculous next to Quite RSS. Give me anytime a paid-for browser, developed by a big bad capitalist company out to make a profit and kill polar bears, rather than this disgusting Soviet tool which come attached with its NKVD shills. You have just illustrated perfectly what is deeply wrong with the Mozilla mentality, and with the mentality of its fanboys. Just don’t tell others they don’t need what they want, or they should be satisfied with a product when they are not. Ghacks readers don’t come here to be fed marketing slogans such as “Mozilla is the leader in providing a secure, easy to use browser that helps bring security to the forefront of basic user’s minds.” If you want to feed on them, good to you. Not because some fascist-communist do-gooders at Mozilla (or other places) lord it over their users, and tell them what they should want and what they actually need.

It’s because free markets exist that we get great software. Ever heard of that, in your socialist bubble ?
#GOOGLE READER ALTERNATIVE 2018 SOFTWARE#
Have you ever heard of this concept ?Īlso, “people making claims” that a software developer is bad, “because a product does not work the way they want it to”, is called commerce, business, the way economy works. They even have features that nobody in their right mind would use to create a document today, but which are there for backward compatibility. If Excel, or Word, were not chock-full of features close to 100 % of people never use, they wouldn’t have reached the quasi-monopoly status they have today. And since different people have different needs… Great software have a heck of a lot of features, because the point of great software is precisely to offer any user the features that he might himself need one day. Newsflash to you : most people don’t use the vast majority of features in any software, tool, machine, equipment, etc. I love it when people say a feature should be taken away because they themselves don’t use it. Now You: Are you impacted by the Not grumpy Browsers like Pale Moon won't cut support while others, Waterfox or SeaMonkey, have not made an announcement yet in that regard. Live Bookmarks are used by a dedicated group of Firefox users, and while the group may be low compared to the group that does not use the functionality, removal will impact the workflow of those users.įirefox users who don't want to lose access to Live Bookmarks functionality may switch to Firefox ESR 60 but that is only a temporary solution. Tip: Check out our list of free RSS readers for Windows. Mozilla plans to display information to users about the change and provide suggestions in form of options that users could follow to continue consuming feeds. Live bookmarks will be removed if it is not possible to to do. All live bookmarks are changed to regular static bookmarks if Mozilla can identify the site URL. What happens to existing Live Bookmarksįirefox will export all existing live bookmarks to an OPML file automatically to preserve the subscriptions. Mozilla is working on alternatives such as Pocket or Reader Mode, and on improving WebExtensions which could provide features related to RSS/Atom feeds without the toll on maintenance.
