User reviews

Users appreciate Feeder as a straightforward RSS feed reader with improved integration in Edge, especially in vertical tab mode, and better than IE's support. However, multiple reviews criticize its push toward paid subscriptions and mandatory registration, preferring a personal, offline feed solution. There are complaints about limited feed management features, occasional display issues, and disappointment compared to previous RSS tools.

Pros

Simple and effective RSS feed reading experience.
No login required for basic usage in some modes.
Integration with Edge vertical tab mode enhances content consumption.
Offers better RSS support than Internet Explorer.
Allows users to access RSS feeds conveniently within the browser.

Cons

Requires registration and promotes paid subscriptions, which users find restrictive.
Functions as an online/cloud platform rather than a personal RSS feed reader, causing privacy concerns.
Limited ability to delete unwanted feed items or customize feed management.
Some users reported the extension not displaying feeds properly or being nonfunctional.
Complaints about the interface and features compared to previous RSS solutions, including lacking free filtering options.

Recent reviews

amazing feed-reader but i didn't know about the subscriptions you can pay. therefore it's more a commercial platform than just an rss reader.

Edge in vertical tab mode with Feeder (no login is required) in minimal display mode is a superb way to consume RSS content... bravo on the excellent extension!

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.

Feeder - RSS Feed Reader requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. 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 an Edge add-on.

Feeder - RSS Feed Reader has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
