Follow from afar. Follow blogs, wikis, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr - anyone on nearly any blog-like network - from your browser. No notifications, no unread messages, no 'inbox'. Just a single page overview of all your follows.

Fraidycat: Follow Multiple Platforms from One Place

Fraidycat is a versatile Firefox add-on designed to help users monitor their follows from a variety of platforms in one place. Instead of multiple traditional feeds, this extension brings all your follows to one location and presents them in a user-friendly, organized way. Users can tag their follows by priority and interest, creating a personal surveillance network without any complicated algorithms. The focus is on users having control over their online activity, making the Web feel more like a personal network.
