My Reviews

Bamboo Feed Reader

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I really like this reader, it has most of the features a "normal" user would be looking for.

Some "quick wins" that would be nice:
- Show the year in the article timestamp
- Adjustable time for article retention
- When clicking on a feed title in an aggregated list, expand the containing folder when drilling down to that feed

Some "power" features that would be nice would be:
- Saved searches/filters
- Make all settings customizable for individual feeds
- A "reading pane" so you can see the article list and article content at the same time

Thank you for this great reader, for now I think it is the best Firefox-based reader available, with "Brief" being a close 2nd.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8.1.1-signed). 

Readability

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Beware: works well for NoScript-allowed pages; but not at all with pages where JavaScript is blocked.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4). 

The Tracktor - Amazon Price Tracker

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Very nice add-on, when it works. Unfortunately it can't be trusted without cross-checking its results because it displays wrong prices so frequently.

Example: ASIN B0047ACVUQ. Real price $60.95, TheTrackter claims $35.99. I have no idea where it got this figure. Have seen other incorrect prices as well.

Also doesn't seem to sample frequently enough to catch price changes that are noticed by other, similar add-ons/sites.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.6). 

Certificate Patrol

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great extension. Does exactly what it says.

I hope this extension will continue to be maintained. Works fine up through at least 4.0b8, the compatibility should really be updated to reflect this.
