Feed marked as read soon or later shows old items as unread - Brief 2.7.3, Firefox 129 #551

Restarting browser (Firefox 129.0.1 (64-bit)) or refreshing that particular feeds after marking them as Read in Brief 2.7.3, does NOT cause the issue described in title, so I think that it may be caused by the source website, but when i click the feed in Brief, the dates of the posts displayed shown to be from October (now is August) and visiting the post shows "Submitted: 2 years ago". Opening the feed URL in a different browser shows:

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>anonymized</title>
<link>anonymized</link>
<description></description>
<lastBuildDate>Mon 19 Aug 2024 anonymized +0200</lastBuildDate>
<pubDate>Fri 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0200</pubDate>

So this looks like a bug. I do not know how to quickly reproduce it, i just wait some time, maybe a week.

If you need feed URL, please link me where i can provide it in private.

You have to right click a feed, select "Feed Settings", and then check the "Don't mark changed items as unread" option. You'll have to do this for every feed you're currently subscribed to within Brief. I don't believe there's a global option for "Don't mark changed items as unread" and also some feeds may still duplicate items anyways even with the changed items setting checked.

Thanks for the suggestion. It may help someone, as you have said "some feeds may still duplicate items", it not worked in my case. If a maintainer "needs a feed URL, please link me where i can provide it in private."
