Just a friendly PSA that WordPress comes with RSS feeds enabled by default. Since an overwhelming majority of content websites use WordPress, I think it's safe to say RSS is still widely available. Try going to your favorite blog and append "?feed=rss2" to the end of the URL. Like so: http://example.com/?feed=rss2 http://example.com/?feed=rss2

Related: Firefox still offers an RSS button that you can place in a toolbar. Lights up when a site has a feed available.

  Also related: if your browser can not do this, view source, and look for a <link> with rel=alternate.

  Chrome also has an official extension (by Google) to do the same: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-extensio/nlbjncdgjeocebhnmkbbbdekmmmcbfjd?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/rss-subscription-e... It can be configured to send the selected feed URL to your (online) aggregator of choice.

Yeah, even in 2018, sites I encounter without RSS are few and far between.

Also just /feed/ usually works.
