Paco Hidalgo (ID: 0000004a0d6c3732) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/30/2023 Worthless. The first time I used it on 'Podcast - The Fifth Column Podcast - https://www.thefifthcolumnpodcast.com/podcast' I got the rude, insulting message, "You 404'd boi." Looks like the dev "404'd boi"… I have no problem getting the feed with a bash script I wrote that uses the excellent 'Podnews - https://podnews.net/search?q='. I also wrote a one-line bookmarklet that opens the selected podcast name in Podnews: javascript:url="https://podnews.net/search?q="+window.getSelection()+"&provider=blended";window.open(url, '_blank'); No need for a buggy extension.

John D (ID: 00000056abdb904b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2022 So, its helpful? Finds RSS feed addres. But that often results with just adding the word "feed" at the end of a page address. So not sure is that all this extension does? In rare cases, some sites have like xml in the address. This extension just gets a URL of XML for the Feed. I guess. Can't just copy paste address of a website, into a RSS reader. This is what this extension does, it just locates this for your convenience. You go to a website page of choice, typically displaying a info feed. Run the Extension. It should give you a address, put into a RSS reader. Example of some readers: Fluent Reader ( github ) or RSSOwl or FreshRSS. Then the news or blog posts, will populate in your reader, for organizing. Be aware that other extensions are not disabling its function.
