Youlag is a FreshRSS extension that allows you to browse your YouTube and article feeds through a modernized design that incorporates quality-of-life features.

Optimized for both watching videos and reading articles.

Why?

Stay connected with creators without a Google account by using RSS. Don't be tied to a specific platform and access your subscriptions from any device.

You can also use Youlag solely for its theme and quality of life features, ignoring any video feature.
