FeedPal: Turn Your Browser Into an RSS Reader

Really good! I'd give it a 4.5/5 if I can cause of some features it lacks. It's got that ease of use for someone who really doesn't want to bother with how complicated RSS setups can be because sites are trying to shy away from giving you RSS despite it being the backbone of our internet even now. It quite literally just works; too well imo! It pulled every single RSS from my bookmarks and managed to grab most available RSS feeds, even the old bookmarks I had hidden from my bookmarks bar. There are some websites I've noticed the RSS feed doesn't work on, a lot of webcomics don't seem to work like the prequel. But generally, for news bookmarks, I have noticed it works without flaws. For such ease of access, comes some things I notice lacking. More specifically it doesn't embed content onto the abstract, it would be nice you can click the description for it to fold out and display all contents of it + any embedded media which it featured. It also lacks a way to tell if you've read a page, so its hard to judge if I've gotten a new article or not to read through when the RSS titles their stuff terribly. The one thing I really would like would be to only pull from a specific folder in your bookmarks rather than every single bookmark you have on your browser. Overall though, for how simple it is, just a one click install to give you an RSS feed experience, this is amazing and I will be suggesting this to people who cannot be bothered setting up RSS, they can just bookmark the sites they like and can get instant updates by clicking on the extension. It's really intuitive and easier to implement than a typical browser's built in RSS reader. Cheers!
