News Headlines

The latest headlines from the news feeds you add (RSS or Atom): headline, feed name, time and a link to the publisher. A Pro live-data widget, no files sent.

This widget fetches the headlines of the news feeds you add, from each feed's publisher, through the Utilkits server. No files are sent. How live-data widgets work

  • No ads
  • No watermarks

This widget fetches public data through the Utilkits server. Requests are listed below as you use it.

Blocks every fetch, XHR and beacon request this page makes and switches Google Analytics off, on tool pages, for this session.

Requests this page makes are counted from then on; page-load requests are left out.

How this works / check it yourself

From the moment you add a file or change something in the tool, this badge lists the requests this page makes. It reads the browser's own list of requests (Resource Timing), which shows a request once it finishes, and watches every fetch, XHR and beacon call. Downloads, such as this site's PDF and OCR engines or an AI model from Hugging Face, are listed apart from requests that carry data out.

This page cannot see requests made inside background workers (such as the PDF engine pdf.js and Tesseract OCR), WebSocket and EventSource connections, form submissions, link pings or the site's service worker, so they are not counted here, and offline mode cannot block them. A request is listed once it finishes. Your browser's Network tab shows everything.

Offline mode blocks the fetch, XHR and beacon calls this page makes. A part of the site that set up its connection before the page finished loading, such as sign-in, is not blocked; if it sends anything, the badge counts it as sent.

On this page the widget asks the Utilkits server for public data; those requests are listed as live data. It sends no files.

  1. Open your browser's developer tools (F12, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac) and choose the Network tab.
  2. Add your file, run the tool and look for any request that uploads it. Requests made by workers are listed there too.
  3. For the strongest test, turn Wi-Fi off once the page has loaded and run the tool again: tools that need no download still work.

About News Headlines

See the latest headlines from news feeds you choose. Add the address of an RSS or Atom feed and the widget fetches it through the Utilkits server, then lists each headline with the feed name, the time and a link to the publisher. No article text or images are copied. It is a Pro widget and takes no files.

How to use News Headlines

  1. Paste the address of an RSS or Atom feed and choose Add feed.
  2. Add more feeds, up to 10, or remove one you no longer want.
  3. Read the headlines, newest first, and open one to read it on the publisher's site.

Limits: RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds only, in well-formed XML, at most 1 MB each. A feed with a DOCTYPE is refused. Up to 10 feeds and 20 headlines per feed. No feed is built in. Headline, feed name, time and link only: no article text or images. Meant for public feeds: the address you add is sent to the Utilkits server and held in its memory, so do not add an address that holds a private token. Private and local network addresses are refused. Fetched again every 15 minutes while the page is visible. Needs a Pro or Teams plan and a connection.

Frequently asked questions

Which feeds can I add?

Any public RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 feed, by its web address. Many news sites and blogs link to theirs with the word RSS or Feed. No feed is built in: you choose every one.

Does the widget copy the articles?

No. It shows the headline, the name of the feed, the time and a link. To read the article you open it on the publisher's own site. No article text and no images are copied.

What is sent, and to whom?

The feed address you type goes to the Utilkits server, which fetches the feed for you. The publisher sees a request from the Utilkits server, not from your device. No files and no account data are sent to the publisher.

Why was my feed address refused?

The address must start with http:// or https:// and must not point at a private or local network. The answer must be an RSS or Atom feed of at most 1 MB in well-formed XML. A web page that is not a feed is refused.

How fresh are the headlines?

The server fetches each feed at most once every 15 minutes, and the widget asks again every 15 minutes while the page is visible. Headlines are marked out of date when the last successful fetch is more than one hour old.
