It is extension only with no cloud sync described, and some of its listed sources, such as Google+, may no longer exist.

Best for an RSS reader with filter rules inside your browser

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Feedbro is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces.
What you could make
- RSS reader and highlights: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. Feedbro’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
