Review summary

Feedbro is praised as a feature-rich, browser-based RSS reader with broad feed support and multiple viewing modes, and it’s free to use. It works well when configured and offers some theming options. However, YouTube video embeds consistently fail with Error 153, and several reviews describe lagging maintenance or no updates. Users also miss backup/export/sync features and more theme options. Overall it’s a solid tool, but persistent YouTube compatibility issues, maintenance concerns, and lack of data portability limit its appeal.

Pros

Comprehensive reader with support for many feeds and viewing modes
Works well when set up and generally reliable
Free to use with no server-based costs
Theming options and basic customization (4 color themes)

Cons

YouTube embedded/video playback errors (Error 153) across multiple feeds
Maintenance lag and few updates, making the project feel inactive
Lack of backup/export/sync options for transferring data or across devices
Limited theming options (only a few color themes) / desire for more customization

2026-07-04	Fi*****	I've been using Feedbro for so many years I really can't remember when I started using it. The problem I've been having recently though is when I open my notifications, it simply shows nothing. I can't even click the individual selections to view what's new.

2026-03-29	Go*****	It would have remained a 5 for me but YouTube feeds now only give me the "Error 153" popup whenever I try to watch a video. This has persisted for MONTHS now and there hasn't been a fix yet. I've also noticed that the add-on was last updated 3/24/2024 (over 2 years ago at time of review) so I'm presuming this add-on is now dead in the water, which is a shame.
