Hello Mozilla Firefox Team,
As a long-time Firefox user, I truly appreciate your commitment to privacy, open-source development, and user freedom. For this reason, I would like to share an important feature request regarding Firefox for Android.
I kindly request that Firefox for Android allow full support for RSS reader extensions such as Feedbro, Inoreader, Feeder, and similar add-ons.
Currently, the Android version only supports a limited set of extensions, which prevents users from installing powerful RSS readers. However, many users rely on RSS feeds for a personal, privacy-friendly news experience. RSS offers an open, independent alternative to algorithmic and commercially driven news feeds.
Enabling broader RSS extension support would provide several benefits:
A customizable and privacy-focused news experience
The freedom to choose any RSS reader
An open-source alternative to built-in news feeds provided by browsers like Brave
Enhanced flexibility without compromising security
Additionally, this feature could remain disabled by default, ensuring that users who do not wish to use RSS are not affected. This approach aligns perfectly with Firefox’s privacy principles, as RSS does not involve Google-style algorithms, advertising networks, personal tracking, or recommendation engines. Only users who intentionally enable the feature would benefit from a more private and personalized news experience.
Allowing popular RSS extensions to run on Firefox Android would make the mobile browser significantly more powerful, flexible, and appealing to many users.
Thank you for considering this request. I sincerely appreciate your continued efforts to protect and support an open internet.
Kind regards, Muhammet
