I used Bamboo Feed Reader Extension for some time. I can't think of anything I would have changed in it.

While I was disappointed that Bamboo is not supported in recent relases of Firefox, I've found a satisfactory substitute in Feedbro. I hope that will become available in the Android version of Firefox as well.

In any event, Feedbro will not function in Privacy Mode. Can this be overcome by future adaptations of Feedbro / other Feed Readers? Perhaps Privacy Mode and the underlying notions for creating Feed Readers violate an inherant conceptual premise in the Feed Reader schema - above my pay grade.

Thanks.

Extensions that use local storage like IndexedDB currently do not work in Private Browsing mode like stated by the Feedbro creator, so you will have to refrain from using permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) and open New Private windows instead.

Okay, thanks.

I don't suppose there is a way to secure those files from being read by anything other than their native interface...encription / other (?).
