Shows unread article count from Feedly

Download

Install Compare

Feedly Counter is a lightweight Chrome extension designed for Feedly users who want quick notifications of unread articles directly in their browser. It displays the unread article count, so you know exactly when new content is available without opening Feedly. With one simple click, you can access your feeds immediately, streamlining your reading workflow. This extension serves as an improved alternative to the original Feedly extension, especially after the latter lost this functionality.

Recent updates focus on fixing icon display issues, improving reliability, and planning future enhancements to make the extension faster and more secure once Feedly provides the necessary developer credentials. Feedly Counter ensures you'll never miss out on your favorite content and helps keep your reading list organized with minimal effort.

Ha funcionat bé, però fa temps que no mostra no llegits. It was great, but since last months it doesn't notify unreads.

Are you going update the icon to match the new format (16x16) for the latest version of chrome?

Ju*****, 2016-09-17

Does what is says on the tin. Two cons: if you already have a Feedly tab open (I like to have it pinned), clicking the icon will open a *new* tab instead of switching to the existing one. All my other "open a website" buttons get this right. Please implement this. 2. It seems to have trouble staying logged in; I often need to click it to get it to update. Not sure what the problem is.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Feedly Counter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Feedly Counter has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
