Our take
Feedbro is a browser-extension RSS reader that keeps your feeds local to the browser rather than syncing through a service, which is its privacy angle. The trade is that it is closed source, so you are taking that privacy claim on trust, and being tied to the browser means your feeds do not follow you to a phone. It suits someone who lives in one browser on a desktop and wants reading kept off external servers; people wanting open code or mobile sync should look elsewhere.
