• Improved content selection: Remove cookie consent forms and overlay elements when selecting links or content to follow so you can track more without unnecessary restrictions.
• A more reliable experience: Enjoy faster loading speeds for external content and better feed detection for Web feeds.

New to Web feeds and Track changes? Here’s how they work:

Web feeds

Web feeds let you follow websites that don’t support RSS. To create one:

1. Go to Add feed > Web feed, paste a website URL, and click Load website.

2. Inoreader will suggest the best feed options for you. Pick one and click Follow feed.

3. If none seem right, manually select a feed by clicking the links you want to follow – just click any to view matching feeds and follow them!

Need advanced settings? Click the menu in the upper-right corner of the modal to enable JavaScript, adjust the page layout, or remove cookie consent forms and overlay elements.

Track changes

Track changes feeds allow you to monitor visual and textual updates on web pages and get notified whenever something changes. To set one up:

1. Go to Add feed > Track changes, paste the web page URL, and click Load web page.
2. To track visual changes, select the area you want to monitor, set a threshold, and click Follow feed. You’ll receive a new article in your feed whenever a change occurs.
3. To track text changes, click any text element to select it, then hit Follow feed to start receiving updates.

Just like Web feeds, you can adjust Page settings to change the layout and remove unnecessary elements.

Managing your feeds

Once added, your Web feeds and Track changes feeds will appear in the Feeds section of the tab bar. From there, you can organize them into folders, apply rules, filters, and more – just like any other feed. Looking for inspiration? Check out some use cases here.
