I don't understand why Feedly needs browser extensions. As far as I can tell the only reason they need them is to spy on your behavior. Otherwise, as all the other online RSS readers show there's no need for browser extensions.
That leads me to believe they are spying. Because, to repeat myself, why else would they need the extension?
- brownbat 14y agoA web-based Feedly is their top request: http://feedly.uservoice.com/forums/192636-suggestions/filters/top http://feedly.uservoice.com/forums/192636-suggestions/filter... Please pile on additional votes to keep the pressure up. For what it's worth, they claim they are not monitoring your browsing: http://blog.feedly.com/2008/06/18/feedly-and-privacy/ http://blog.feedly.com/2008/06/18/feedly-and-privacy/ But you're right, still a good idea to push for the web version regardless.
- hamburglar 14y agoYeah, I won't use feedly because 1) wtf browser extention and 2) needs a google login? Come on! I'm supposed to believe this service is going to replace google reader and they can't demonstrate it running without google reader's backend yet? Nor without a browser extension? #1 gives the appearance of incompetence and #2 smells like vaporware.
