TickerTapePro — display live RSS headlines as a moving ticker on any webpage; monitor multiple feeds and get real-time updates. TickerTapePro — Live RSS headlines as a lightweight moving ticker on any webpage TickerTapePro adds a slim, non-intrusive moving ticker bar to your browser that displays live headlines from RSS feeds you choose. Keep up with news, blogs, and updates without leaving the page you’re on — perfect for traders, journalists, researchers, and power readers who want an always-on glance at the latest headlines. Key benefits Stay informed without interrupting your workflow: see new headlines scroll across the top of any site. Aggregate multiple feeds: combine several RSS sources into one continuous stream. Lightweight and isolated: runs in a Shadow DOM so ticker styles don’t break webpages. Customizable: control font size, scroll speed, and visibility. Easy to dismiss: click the ticker to temporarily hide it; it will reset after a page refresh. Features Multi-feed aggregation: monitor multiple RSS URLs and show headlines in a continuous ticker with clear separators. Source-aware separators: the ticker inserts a stronger separator when headlines switch between different feed sources. Scroll speed control: adjust how fast headlines move across your screen. Font size control: choose a size that fits your layout and reading preference. Persistent settings: feed list, speed, and font size are stored locally so your configuration stays in place across sessions. Temporary dismissal: left-click the ticker to hide it for the current page view (it reappears on refresh). Automatic refresh: background fetches update feeds on a configurable interval so headlines stay current. Graceful default: when no feeds are configured the extension shows a helpful default message that scrolls like normal headlines. Minimal permissions: uses only the permissions needed to fetch feeds and store your settings. How it works Add RSS feed URLs in the extension UI (supports multiple feeds). The extension fetches each feed and combines headlines into a single stream. The ticker injects a small overlay (shadow DOM) at the top of the page; the overlay contains just the ticker UI and styles, keeping it isolated from the page’s CSS. Headlines are fetched in the background on a schedule. The ticker updates only when new items are available, avoiding unnecessary re-displays. Clicking the ticker hides it for the current page view. Refreshing the page resets that temporary hide so the ticker returns. Why install Instant, unobtrusive awareness: glance at headlines in context, without opening extra tabs or apps. Save time: you can monitor multiple sites from one compact UI. Customizable to your workflow: small footprint, adjustable speed and font size so it fits your browsing habits. Great for workflows that require continuous awareness (newsrooms, trading desks, monitoring brand/industry mentions). Privacy & security RSS feeds you add are fetched by the extension’s background script; feed URLs and fetched headlines are stored locally using your browser’s storage API. No third-party sharing: feed URLs and headline data remain on your device and are not transmitted to external services by the extension itself. If the extension uses a proxy/fetch service, it will be disclosed in the extension details (check the permissions and privacy notes in the listing). Permissions Storage: to save your feed list and preferences. Alarms: to schedule background refreshes of RSS feeds. ActiveTab / host permissions (if required): used only to inject the ticker into pages and to enable the content script to run on pages you visit; the extension does not collect browsing history. Quick start Install the extension. Open the extension popup (click the toolbar icon). Add one or more RSS feed URLs (e.g., https://example.com/rss). Adjust speed and font size if desired. The ticker will appear at the top of pages you visit and start scrolling the latest headlines. Support and feedback Found an issue, or want a feature (filters, per-domain settings, keyboard shortcuts, or a close button)? Please contact support from the extension’s popup or via the store listing contact link. Feedback helps prioritize improvements. Notes and advanced usage The ticker uses a per-page temporary hide (click to hide); refreshing the page restores the ticker so you can easily re-enable it. If you manage many feeds, headlines are merged and tagged internally so separators indicate when the source changes, improving readability. To pause updating temporarily, you can disable the extension or remove all feed URLs; defaults will appear when no feeds are present. Install TickerTapePro to keep an eye on headlines while you browse — compact, configurable, and focused on letting you stay informed without breaking your flow.
