Review summary

Users appreciate RSSPreview for its quick and automatic detection of RSS feeds with a clean and minimal interface that integrates well into Firefox without performance issues. However, several report it fails to detect some existing feeds, including YouTube channels with non-English characters, and sometimes downloads the feed file instead of previewing it. The preview interface is simple, and the add-on does not support live bookmarks or headline checking from the toolbar, which limits its functionality compared to some users' expectations.

Pros

Quickly finds RSS feeds if they exist
Works well with Firefox and integrates as a button in the address bar
Minimalist, clean, and reviewable code
Displays RSS XML pages automatically and directly in Firefox
Does not cause issues like high CPU usage or infinite loops unlike some alternatives

Cons

Fails to detect some RSS feeds the user is already subscribed to
Partially broken with latest version causing feeds to download instead of display
Does not support detection of YouTube channels with non-English characters in URLs
Preview UI is basic or ascetic
Lacks live bookmark functionality to check feed headlines from bookmark toolbar

2026-08-12	Fi*****	Works as intended on Firefox for Android! Helpful to see what feeds you can subscribe to on a given website and to preview them. Some improvements I'd like to see: - In the detected feeds list, show the URL for each feed, and maybe some more information (eg, last update, number of entries, etc) - Notify if feeds are found on the current website (not sure if it's possible on Firefox Android) - If you use the extension to open a given feed, then use the browser back button to return to the webpage it was found from, the extension doesn't detect feeds until the webpage is manually refreshed

2025-08-01	Lo*****	This extension has unfortunately so far failed to detect the RSS feeds of every RSS that I am already currently subscribed to.

2025-03-31	sw*****	BTW, please add "atom:icon" to rss.xml file (into "feedTitleImage" img tag), because some services use "atom:icon" instead of "atom:logo".
