About Feedbro
Feedbro is a feed reader that runs as an extension in Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge and Firefox. It reads RSS, Atom and RDF feeds and can also follow content from sites such as YouTube, Reddit, Telegram and several social networks through built-in integrations.
Its rule engine filters incoming items automatically based on conditions you define, which helps when following many noisy sources. Because it lives in the browser, the list of feeds you follow stays with you rather than on a hosted service.

- Rule engine for automatic filtering
- Reads RSS, Atom and RDF plus several social and video sites
- Available for Chrome-based browsers and Firefox
