Review summary

Easy RSS is praised for its simplicity, speed, and minimalistic interface, making it a convenient RSS notifier without unnecessary complexity. However, users encounter consistent issues such as inability to load certain feeds (e.g., GitHub, some independent blogs), lack of feed management features like bulk deletion or disabling feeds, no synchronization of read status across devices, and a visually unappealing and non-adaptive UI design. These shortcomings slightly diminish the user experience despite the extension's core functionality working well for most standard feeds.
Pros
  • Simple and easy to use with a straightforward UI.
  • Fast in fetching and notifying new RSS posts.
  • Minimalistic design without bloat.
  • Reliable for popular news sites and mainstream RSS feeds.
  • Provides a compact widget for quick access to new posts.
Cons
  • Feeds from some sites, like GitHub release pages and certain blogs, fail to load properly.
  • No option to manage feeds in bulk, such as deleting multiple feeds at once.
  • Lacks the ability to disable individual feeds without deleting them.
  • No synchronization of read posts across different devices.
  • UI colors and themes are considered unattractive and do not adapt to the browser's theme.

2026-07-03 My***** Quick and easy install, but ... won't take opml input to get feed from FeedBro, and the interface is too simple. It doesn't take the feed name from the feed, which does it for me, I'm not looking for what else I would miss.

2024-12-29 Di***** Personal opinion: the colors are super ugly … This aside: The reader generally seems to work. But some things didn’t. It wasn’t able to find feeds on github release pages and it wasn’t able to sync with YouTube subscriptions. Both likely due to the old age of this extension. Also, the popup that shows the feeds looks so crammed, there also seems to be no way to see already read feed items. They just disappear.

Thank you!
2024-03-22 Cl***** I love the look and feel of the UI, but could not actually import my feeds from another service - nothing happened after selecting my file.
