User reviews

Users appreciate that the extension requires no signup and effectively aggregates multiple RSS feeds into a simple reader. However, many express frustration over the forced disabling of adblockers, resulting in poor usability and disrupted experience. The interface is often described as confusing and unattractive, with limited customization options to tailor news sources. These issues negatively impact overall satisfaction despite some users finding it meets basic RSS reading needs.

Pros

Functions well in showing news in miniature format
Simple and straightforward for basic RSS aggregation

Cons

Requires disabling adblockers like AdGuard to function, which users find undesirable
Limited customization options, such as inability to filter or disable unwanted news sources
User interface is considered complicated, ugly, and hard to understand by multiple users
Offers a poor and messy user experience especially when adblocker is disabled
Does not function properly with active adblockers, which leads to uninstallation by some users

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.
