About this extension
TubeFeed is a private, local-first YouTube subscription reader. Follow channels without a Google account, keep track of what is new, and watch on your own terms.
Features
Reliable feed updates
TubeFeed tries YouTube RSS first, then the public channel page when RSS is unavailable or incomplete. An optional YouTube Data API key is used only as a final fallback. New feed results are saved before the slower duration-repair pass, so refreshes stay responsive.
Privacy
No TubeFeed account, server, tracking, or analytics. Subscription data, settings, watched state, and video history stay in your browser. Requests go directly to YouTube; an API key is optional and excluded from ordinary settings backups by default.
Features
- Add YouTube channels by URL, @handle, or channel ID
- Unread counts for channels, folders, and the toolbar badge
- Unwatched Videos and All Feeds cross-channel views
- Five layouts: Compact, Medium, Grid 3, Grid 4, and Large
- Organize channels into collapsible folders with drag-and-drop ordering
- Search channels or video titles; use / to focus search and Escape to clear it
- Mark videos watched or unwatched individually, or mark visible videos in bulk
- Optionally mark videos seen while scrolling, removing them from unread counts without marking them watched
- Duration badges and configurable handling for newly found videos without a duration
- Filter out Shorts and other videos below a chosen duration
- Right-click actions for videos, channels, folders, All Feeds, and Unwatched Videos
- Custom themes, colors, watched-video dimming, and settings backup
- Import and export channel lists with OPML
- Optional creator-provided localized titles and descriptions

It tries YouTube Atom RSS first, then the public channel /videos page if RSS is unavailable, malformed, empty, or returns no usable videos. An optional YouTube Data API key is used only as a final fallback when the public sources fail.
The extension uses YouTube cookies only for YouTube channel-page and watch-page requests, helping YouTube consent handling work in regions where it is required. API requests omit cookies; an optional API key is sent only in a request header, never in a URL.
No TubeFeed server, analytics service, tracking, or remote code is used.
