I'll just shill my own feed reader here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brook-feed-re...

It currently only runs in Firefox but if anyone is interested, I'll Port it to Chrome since it now supports a sidebar interface.

I made this because I wanted to have feeds show up where I read them, in the browser, and I wanted it on my own device so nobody else controls it. No hosting, no payment, just a simple tool that lets me control what I read.

Bonus: if you try it you'll likely increase the global usage by double digits ;)

Interested. I miss when Firefox sorted in natively, even if it was bare minimum. I've been looking for a lightweight RSS reader for desktop. I'd probably ditch my mobile app too if this was compatible with Firefox mobile.
FYI, it's quite easy to support both Firefox and chrome (both mv2 and mv3, even) in a single extension codebase.
Could it also be ported as a VSCode extension?
i'm interested in a chrome port!
