Question 1

What's the difference between the Feeder browser extension and the web application?

Accepted Answer

The browser extension provides quick access to your feeds directly from your browser toolbar and often includes a 'subscribe' button for easy feed discovery on visited sites. The web application offers a more comprehensive reading experience, advanced organization features like folders and filters, and is accessible from any device with a web browser, providing a centralized hub for all your subscriptions.

Question 2

Can I import my existing feed subscriptions from another RSS reader?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Feeder supports OPML import. You can export your subscriptions from most other RSS readers as an OPML file (a standard XML format for feed lists) and then upload it directly within Feeder's settings. This allows for a seamless migration of your entire feed list without manual re-entry.

Question 3

How does Feeder handle privacy regarding my reading habits and data?

Accepted Answer

Feeder focuses on content aggregation, not user tracking for advertising purposes. While it tracks read/unread states to manage your feed experience and provide a consistent view, it does not sell or share your individual reading data with third parties. Premium tiers may offer more detailed usage statistics for personal review, but this data is not used for external monetization or profiling.

Question 4

Is there a limit to the number of feeds I can subscribe to?

Accepted Answer

Free accounts typically have a generous, but defined, limit on the number of active feeds you can subscribe to. Premium subscriptions remove these limits, allowing for an unlimited number of feeds, and often provide faster update intervals, access to advanced features like full-text search, and more granular article filtering options.

Question 5

Does Feeder support custom RSS feeds or only standard ones?

Accepted Answer

Feeder is designed to work robustly with standard RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds, which cover the vast majority of web content sources. For websites without a readily available standard feed, some premium features or integrations might allow for custom feed creation (e.g., via third-party scraping tools), but the core product focuses on reliable aggregation of established feed formats.
