Extension summary

Live RSS Bookmarks mimics Firefox's old live bookmarks feature (removed since 2018). It does this by syncing bookmarks inside a folder for each RSS feed.

This extension was previously called Foxish but was re-written to support Chrome Manifest v3. At this time it was simplified since Chrome no longer limits bookmark access like it did in the past and efforts were made to future proof it.

Source code can be found at https://github.com/davidhampgonsalves/Live-RSS-Bookmarks.

⚠️ Bookmark syncing between multiple devices will cause duplicate folders and is not supported.

User reviews

long time happy user of the predecessor of this ext - Foxish. was gutted when it stopped working so thrilled that it was revived here. this is truly the BEST RSS reader for Chrome! but taking off a star as it doesn't operate like the old Foxish in that it does not recognize RSS feeds on a page; user must manually input RSS feeds (which isn't possible for non-public feeds). not sure if this is a CM v3 limitation but hoping the dev sees this and can get it back up in a future update. thank you dev!
