Lacking in the most basic of features. You can TECHNICALLY mark things as read, but it just changes the color of the text. You can't even hide read items.

I tried it for a bit, but this extension is persistently trying to be the only RSS extension in your browser. Every time I reopen my browser it tries to disable the other RSS readers and there's not even a setting to stop this behavior. For most of my feeds I still wanted to use RSS Feed Reader since I like the way feeds are show directly in the popup. But since they pay-walled faster refresh rates, I've been looking for a replacement with a similar pop-up for feed or a secondary reader to keep up with the feeds I wanted to monitor constantly. This doesn't fit into either category.

Blocks certain feeds. Judicial Watch

Was an amazing and nearly flawlessly functional extension for several years of use, however now requires you to disclose your email address to use. Download at your own risk, it's possible that your email will be harvested for advertisement networks.

If I try to add more than 2 feeds, the browser crashes.

Justin Cram DyingJedi Update: found Aparently its hidden embeded background commuinications to a domain called "http://searchhelper.com/ OR *searchhelper*" ffhafkagcdhnhamiaecajogjcfgienom" I think this isn't a real google extension! Justin Cram DyingJedi also was embedded in this extension! pkidpnnapnfgjhfhkpmjpbckkbaodldb

Missing the most basic function: Marking articles/feeds as read. Which is a real pity as I like the rest a lot for now.

I like it, but the dark theme is not visually pleasing.

The "Dark Theme" is really bad unfortunately as the colors are just inverted and the text is unreadable but the extension itself works as expected.

Unstable. Sometimes it get stuck and can not read the feeds. It helps only to remove the plugin or close all chrome tasks

Decend addon, but could give the user a bit more control in places. The layout and design is pretty good overall. However, there are trackers in place and the source code is not available. Whenever the user adds an RSS feed, this plugin "calls home" and reports things to a strange russian tracking website (could just be analytics, could be actual snooping). I don't like this at all.

This was a great plugin but since yesterday it has started crashing constantly

Terribly slow. Very often crashes

Slow and crashes Chrome often. I've got 50+ feeds and it will crash at least 3 times while RSS Aggregator is open. Otherwise, like the functionality, just fix crashing.

It constantly loses its settings, reverts to default. Is there any way to fix this?

Dark mode is awful. Lower refresh is 5 min. There is no way to open the new feed/article in a new tab automatically like in other extensions.

Link of items did not point to original web page but to "chrome-extension://ffhafkagcdhnhamiaecajogjcfgienom/....... So there is no possibility to follow link. :(

Good app, and makes for an excellent alternative for cloud services like Feedly - but it needs something like a keyboard shortcut, or a way to quickly mark all items on a feed as read. EDIT: I've encountered situations where this app breaks some RSS feeds - with the feed for retronauts.com being a significant example.

Occasionally when reading the RSS feed, my computer almost locks up and uses a huge amount of RAM. Often I need to kill the computer power by holding in the power button and reboot to regain control. It does not happen consistently on only one feed. If not for this frustrating problem, I am very pleased with the extension.

Seems good, but one can't mark threads as read in one of the layouts, so now I have too many unread notifications.

It does work as it was in Opera, everything must be looking fine except the only one HUGE problem: fonts in Ubuntu Chromium are ridiculously small, thus it's impractical to use.

No alphabetical order for places and groups??

I have more than 5000 RSS news in my list. I wish there was a way to delete them all at the same time. Because deleting them one by one can take forever.

Very nice overall. But my main need is the ability to mark articles KEEP, for saving. In Opera I did this by creating a Keep label and excluding it from restricted view. Then I did my purging in restricted view, which protected the kept articles. Labels and the ability to keep articles would be a big step forward. Thanks!

The extension is very promising. But unless I missed the thing, the only negative I've found is the inability to read all in one folder. What makes it unmanageable when you have a lot of source. For this, I prefer FeedBro.

It lacks ability to mark all read and to show only unread feeds. I imported my feeds and now I have 1500 unread feeds. Apparently I have to mark them read or delete one by one. And there is no way to empty trashbin. Seriously, 1500 feeds in my trash, and if I want to remove them I must confirm every deletion. Otherwise very nice.
