I've tried many RSS readers on Firefox (Brief, Easy RSS, Smart RSS Reader, RSS Sage-Like, Drop Feeds RSS…), and Feedbro is definitely the best by far! It's clean, lightweight, customizable, and easy to use. The only negative point is that it's not open source.

Doesn't have any kind of a bug tracker or community. You're supposed to report problems via e-mail, and my email seemingly was just ignored. The app has issues, such as some type of filters not working (those containing more than one word), and for some reason the developer decided it's gonna be a great idea to delete a feed item once it's been viewed. And there's no way to alter that behavior other than by setting "mark article as read" to manual.

Why pay for a Feedly subscription when you can get the same RSS features for free?

Can be somewhat tricky to learn at first - you never know if you're making a mistake or if the API revolution is affecting your desired feed. For example, FeedBro still recognizes RSS/Atom feeds through Twitter (sorry, I mean "X"), but it's effectively broken thanks to Mr. Musk.

Feeds are customizable: you can specify different refresh intervals & how many articles to save for each feed.
