## Description

This extension has a popup that will give you the option to select from feeds on a page natively, or with RSS-bridge configured to your liking. It optionally integrates with tt-rss to include a 'subscribe' link. RSS-Bridges current supported are twitter, instagram, and youtube.

Usage:.
- Click on the add-on icon while on a website to display all known RSS feeds for that site. Feeds are displayed as hyper links, you can copy link location if needed.
- Known RSS feeds are one of the following: Feeds included in a link element on the page or generated RSS-bridge feeds for supported websites.
- Configure an RSS-bridge instance in options. You can search online for public instances, or host your own.
- Optionally, you can configure a tt-rss instance, and next to a feed link there is another link to redirect to a subscribe menu in tt-rss. You may do the same with miniflux as well.

Example:
- On the page for a youtube video, clicking the addon icon will bring up the feeds for the channel with RSS-bridge and the native youtube feed. If the video is in a current playlist, it will also bring up the feeds for the playlist.
