User Reviews

Reviewers broadly praise Want My RSS as a rare working option to view RSS in Firefox after native support was dropped, especially for rendering feeds as webpages. However, several users report serious downsides: extremely slow and CPU-intensive loading for large feeds; non-portable, per-install URLs that break bookmarks/history when syncing across devices; compatibility issues on Android Nightly and with certain sites; and occasional complete failures to load. The extension is valued for continuing RSS access and a nicer UI, but reliability and cross-device usability remain concerns.

Pros

One of the few working options for viewing RSS in Firefox after native support was removed.
Allows viewing RSS feeds as a webpage inside Firefox, which matches the main user need.
Noted for a nicer UI compared to some alternatives.
Trusted by long-time users as a daily replacement and recommended extension.

Cons

Very slow loading for feeds with many entries, causing long load times and high CPU usage.
Per-install unique feed URLs make bookmarking, history, and syncing across devices problematic.
Compatibility issues on Android Nightly and with certain sites (e.g., KDE discuss) limiting usefulness.
Occasional reports of the extension not loading or doing nothing.

Used-to be great. Over the past 1+ month, NOTHING loads for me. The sites it's loading from are perfectly fine, it only looks like it is waiting for them. Must be some 3rd party resource this extension wants to load. Tried another RSS viewer extension and things load instantly. This extension is broken.

Is Want My RSS Safe?

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 impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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 Add-ons Store, 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.

Want My RSS is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
