I wonder how many blog sites have a large number of RSS users and don’t even know they have an RSS feed.
Most Wordpress sites have an RSS feed at ./feed, but many of the sites I follow don’t actually have an RSS link offered as an option.
- JoshMnem 9y agoI wonder if Firefox could help fix the problem by putting RSS/Atom discovery into the browser in a prominent way.
- breischl 9y agoDon't they have that already? I remember it being a prominent feature for browsers ~10 years ago. Heck, even Outlook had a feed reader - still has it I think, though it's always sucked.
- JoshMnem 9y agoFirefox used to show a custom page when an RSS feed was displayed, but it doesn't seem to work any more. Edit: it didn't seem to work earlier, but is working now after I added the RSS subscriptions button.
- robin_reala 9y agoIt’s there, pick Customise from the menu and drag the RSS icon into the bar. But they’re not interested in actively working on it – suggested features like hiding it instead of greying it out based on feed presence are closed due to a lack of interest. I think ideally they’re want it to be an extension.
