Summary

This extension has a popup that will give you the option to select from feeds on a page natively, or with RSS-bridge configured to your liking. It optionally integrates with tt-rss to include a 'subscribe' link. RSS-Bridges current supported are twitter, instagram, and youtube.

Usage:.

  • Click on the add-on icon while on a website to display all known RSS feeds for that site. Feeds are displayed as hyper links, you can copy link location if needed.
  • Known RSS feeds are one of the following: Feeds included in a link element on the page or generated RSS-bridge feeds for supported websites.
  • Configure an RSS-bridge instance in options. You can search online for public instances, or host your own.
  • Optionally, you can configure a tt-rss instance, and next to a feed link there is another link to redirect to a subscribe menu in tt-rss. You may do the same with miniflux as well.

Example:

  • On the page for a youtube video, clicking the addon icon will bring up the feeds for the channel with RSS-bridge and the native youtube feed. If the video is in a current playlist, it will also bring up the feeds for the playlist.

User reviews
Only works if you can find a decent RSS Bridge Instance to use for the backend, but if you can this will work nicely. Of course, it's only really useful if you have an additional Feed Reader program installed on your computer, and want an easy way to fetch feeds. Want a Feed Reader in the browser itself? Use FeedBro.
