Get RSS Feed URL for Slick RSS
Get RSS Feed URL for Slick RSS is a free Chrome extension developed by gandfhdev. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The main purpose of this program is to retrieve RSS feed URLs from websites and import them into Slick RSS.
Normally, websites do not provide direct links to their RSS feeds, so users have to manually search for the URL in the website's source code. This extension eliminates the need for such manual search by displaying the URLs of the RSS feeds directly. It saves time and effort for users who want to stay updated with the latest content from their favorite websites.
One of the convenient features of this extension is that it allows users to retrieve feed URLs from external service "feedsearch.dev." The extension also offers three different modes to enhance the search for feeds. It has a 24-hour cache per URL and per mode to optimize server load, and the cache is cleared every week. It is important to note that only the requested URL, mode, and result are stored in the cache, with no personal data being sent or stored.
The latest version of the extension (v1.1) brings several improvements and additions. The storage permission has been removed, the regex for special URLs has been fixed, and the CSS has been improved. The extension now includes an API to search for feeds with three different modes, eliminating duplicate feed results. It also offers a dark or light mode option and supports translations in multiple languages. Additionally, the extension has been upgraded to Manifest V3, and the options are stored directly within the browser.
Overall, Get RSS Feed URL for Slick RSS is a useful Chrome extension for anyone who wants to easily retrieve RSS feed URLs from websites and import them into Slick RSS. It streamlines the process and eliminates the need for manual searching in source codes.
