There’s a new official browser extension to subscribe to feeds and save pages to read later.
You can use the extension in these browsers:
- Safari - Bundled with the Feedbin app. It works on iOS, macOS, and iPadOS.
- Chrome - Which is also where you should go if you’re using a Chromium based browser like Edge, Arc, Brave, etc…
- Firefox
Besides being a convenient way to get content into Feedbin, the extension also enables a new feature for Pages. Previously Feedbin could only get the content of the page from its servers, so if the page you were on required an account, it couldn’t get the full content. Now the extension can upload the entire content of the page you are on, which helps it work better in more places.
Privacy-wise the extension tries to keep its permissions to a minimum. It has no background capabilities, so it will only run when it is clicked on. It’s also open source.
