RSS feed reader in the style of Firefox's live bookmarks.

Foxish Live RSS - The Smart Chrome Extension for RSS Feeds

Foxish Live RSS is a Chrome extension that mimics Firefox's native handling of RSS and Atom feed reading using live bookmarks. This user-friendly tool syncs RSS feeds with bookmark folders at a user-configured interval, presenting a seamless RSS reading experience. It features the import/export of feeds from other RSS readers through OPML and automatically detects RSS/Atom feeds on web pages. However, there might be limitations due to Chrome API's restrictions on the number of bookmark actions that extensions can perform within a certain period.

Excelente, igual ao Firefox. Só falta opção de atualizar os feeds manualmente

Finally an RSS-handler that enables a dropdown list from the Bookmark Toolbar with all headlines! This fixes my most prominent problem with Chrome.

Sorry guys, I really thought You had something here. I have had it for quite a while. The original list of articles remain and have NEVER updated. They always jump right up because they are permanent! ARE NEVER current!
