Can you tell me where could I dissable RSS validation procedure when I adding a feed. If there are no suchoption Add a switch which allow

example of working feed (the first one works in another rss readers, but not it TB because shit validation) https://rss.unian.net/site/news_ukr.rss or https://www.ukrinform.ua/rss/block-lastnevs (reputable news agencies of Ukraine)

This is important, Because of this validation, it is impossible to add many resources that can be easily added to other RSS readers (Opera Mail, The Bat! 7.2, FeedReader 3.14, Fedemon 3.5, Opera Mail ...). There is of course a workaround through the firewall (where to block a specific request to validator.w3.org, but I would like without it). The way of adding feed in offline is not good, because returning offline will validate this feed. Help...

A feed that fails validation is not a working feed as far as Thunderbird code is concerned. This decision is based on trying to ensure that no malware can be inserted into the feed making use of poor validation of the feed to compromise your system. If you are prepared to actively prevent the software blocking sub standard feeds that is your choice. But please remember you compromised the software when things go wrong. A better result would be to contact the feed owners and ask them why they persist in offering a defective feed as a feed that fails the w3.org validator is not a valid RSS feed.
