Get RSS Feed URL is a Firefox extension designed to effortlessly provide direct links to RSS/Atom feeds from any website. Since many sites don't openly display their RSS feed URLs, this extension scans for and displays them so users can access or copy the URLs with a single click. Beyond standard websites, it also supports extracting RSS feeds from YouTube channels, users, and subreddits, enhancing content discovery.

Compatible with Firefox desktop and Firefox Nightly on Android, this extension is a convenient tool for users who regularly follow news or updates via RSS. It is an open-source project ported from the original Chrome extension under the MIT license, ensuring transparency and ongoing improvements. Simplify your RSS feed discovery and stay updated effortlessly with Get RSS Feed URL.

User reviews

Users appreciate that the Get RSS Feed URL add-on works well to detect hidden RSS feeds without needing third-party services and offers a mobile-friendly interface. However, multiple reviews mention the annoyance that the extension's icon is hidden in the add-on menu rather than visible in the URL bar. Some users report browser freezing issues when copying links, and there are occasional problems correctly identifying RSS feeds on YouTube without reloading. A visual indicator for sites lacking RSS feeds is also suggested for improvement.

Pros

Works as described with a simple and fuss-free approach

Cons

Icon not easily accessible in the URL bar, hidden in the add-on menu
Freezes or causes browser to hang on copy link action for some users
Issues with detecting RSS feeds on YouTube without reloading the page
Lack of visual feedback when sites do not have an RSS feed (icon should appear disabled)
