[Help/Suggest]I need help for find alternatives to Vivaldi's RSS Tool becouse I can't export my feeds to other Vivaldi.
-
Hello, I have been a Vivaldi user since the beginning of this project, what's more, I have been a follower of the work of the founders of Vivaldi, since long before they left Opera and I would like to continue using this browser for many years because for now it is the only one that meets all my exacting demands. It's just great.
Okay, after this little introduction, you can imagine how excited I was to discover that Vivaldi was going to restore one of the most wonderful tools that version 12 of Opera had: Its integrated RSS reader. I really have been very happy with it.
But now, I have a problem. I need to format one of my two computers and, as for some unknown reason Vivaldi does not synchronize the feeds between all the browsers of the same account, nor does it allow the feeds to be exported as well as their logs, I am being forced to look for very useful alternative RSS tools. To my regret, but from what I have seen, I have not found any tool that allows me to classify messages manually by color marks in the same way that vivaldi allows. And that is a problem for me.
Basically, the perfect RSS reader for me is the one in which I can: first of all, not worry about losing the RSS records of the feeds, being able to even see publications prior to the feed subscription, if not all; and on the other hand, organize the feeds alphabetically by folders or themes, and apart from that you can classify the publications by themes through the use of brands (Flags) and labels. Since I use the marks to classify themes and the labels I use them to classify types or sub-themes. For example:
Purple flag: "Space"
Label "History"
Well, all publications would be filtered regardless of the source that have a space theme, and are of a historical nature. Doing it this way, it's very visual to locate the information you want at the time you want it.In that sense, I only need that, but it has been impossible for me to locate an rss that does it, so I publish this post, with the purpose that either the Vivaldi developers update the tool with the possibility of synchronizing the feeds between browsers of the same account, or allow all that data to be exported, in order to be retrieved again in the Vivaldi browser.
In my case, due to this lack, I am going to be forced to delete an 8-month-old RSS record, and I believe that users should not be forced to do so, especially since many of us use it as a reference tool for our investigations.
My question parallel to the above is:
In case Vivaldi doesn't plan to improve this tool...Is there an alternative that is pretty much the same as Vivaldi's RSS but the data can be exported and kept safe from user hardware or software failure?I have looked at quite a few RSSReaders and I have tried Feedly and Inoreader, because being a website it does not matter where you access it from, but not having the possibility of classifying the publications by brands (flags) and requiring automated filters to put labels on the publications I find them quite cumbersome to use.
If someone can help me I will be very grateful because I don't know what else to do.
Please improve this tool. * . *

@ArchiTechOffi , have you looked in AlternativeTo? There are a lot of feedreaders out there which you can try (>200).

@ArchiTechOffi Try this. Works for me.

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time and patience to read me, I value and deeply appreciate that people stop to read/listen and help others.
@Catweazle Thank you very much for your suggestion ^^, yes, that is precisely one of the webpages I visited before making this post. If you notice there are no readers that have flags for the publications, at most they allow you to put the star or the "Favorite" or "Important" sticker, but this is simply not customizable enough.
I don't like to bother or waste people's time, that's why I tried to do a thorough research on the internet before asking for help and that was one of the websites that came up but I didn't find anything similar to Vivaldi. Though maybe it's just ignorance of not knowing how to configure those tools to work the same way as Vivaldi's RSS reader. I don't know that's why I asked for help.

I have been forced to double post due to the system detecting my message as spam.
@fred8615 Thank you very much for your contribution ^^, it really got me excited, although sadly it doesn't work for me. The creator mentions that if your language is different from English you have to modify the
filename , but how should you modify it? In my case my browser is in Spanish so I understand that it fails me due to the use of the ñ. I will research about it more.@Hadden89 Thank you very much for your mention ^^, after reviewing that publication, I have noticed that it is quite old and since I do not want to be penalized for reviving an old post, I have chosen to publish a message explaining what is happening and mentioning this publication so that both are part of the same request to the development team, trying to cause as little inconvenience as possible.

I've been using FeedBro extension for the past few years and it's quite solid. You can export and import the feeds an an OPML file. It also supports folder (the main reason i haven't migrate to Vivaldi's built-in feed reader), tagging, and filtering.

const filename = "exportedfeeds_"+new Date().toDateString().replace(/\s/g,"-")+".opml";
and replace it with
const filename = "feeds.opml";
In the first instance the filename contains the date, in the new instance it’s just a fixed name. Doesn’t matter, you can rename it later if you need to.
