Todd (ID: 00000031aa935e5c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/31/2022 Perfect! It does exactly what it's supposed to and nothing more.

Kevin Gardner (ID: 0000006404675058) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/06/2019 Great extension. Supports multiple feeds and allows entry of the forwarding URL, shich defines where the feed directs you on click. You can also set the feed to send you directly to the entry. Works well and much better than those quoted via Google search.
