Pros

It allows viewing RSS feeds as webpages in Firefox.
It is the only working option found for viewing RSS feeds after Firefox's removal of built-in support.
It has a simple design that some users find appealing.

Cons

It can have long loading times for feeds with many entries, affecting browser performance.
Unique URLs created for feeds cannot be shared between different Firefox installations, leading to loss of bookmarks and history on different devices.
The lack of pagination for feeds results in slower load times and heavy CPU usage.

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.

Want My RSS requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

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