Brief is feed reading extension for Firefox. Inspired by such tools as Sage and Flock's news reader, it uses some of their ideas, adds plenty of its own and hopefully results in something cool.
A short list of features:
- Integration with Live Bookmarks.
- Articles permanently stored in a database.
- Easily mark articles as read, star the interesting ones.
- Streamlined display of feed content.
- Browse your feeds anyway you want - view unread or starred articles, display a single feed or a folder.
- Full text search-as-you-type.
- Statusbar display showing number of unread articles.
- Feeds automatically updated in the background.
Available locales: en-US bg-BG da-DK de-DE el-GR en-GB es-AR es-ES fr-FR hr-HR it-IT nb-NO nl-NL pl-PL ru-RU sk-SK zh-TW
Known issues:
- This is not really an "issue" but remember that the feeds you have in your bookmarks must be Live Bookmarks (not feed addresses saved as regular bookmarks) for Brief see them
- NoScript users should add file:// to the list of trusted sites in order for Brief to work correctly.
Brief supports custom stylesheets. I am not a graphic designer by any means, so I included only one style by default but I'm hoping people will make some more, so I can put together a gallery on the website or maybe even include them in Brief itself.
