Yeah, chrome doesn't do anything with RSS. I was responding to you saying that this is part of "the absolute core a browser has to deliver", but if the most popular browser around doesn't do it then I don't see how you can argue that this will be a major failure of Firefox
Also I don't agree that this necessarily can't be done a webextension. For instance you can have add-ons like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jsonview/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/jsonview/ so I assume the same would be true for RSS
- onli 8y agoOh, my point there was not that it is not possible. It should even be possible with an XLST stylesheet, though last I looked that was buggy. I wanted to express that you can't make RSS accessible to users if users have to install extensions to get a proper representation (and feedreader selection) when opening a feed. This stuff has to be built in to make RSS usable for the general public.
- nebulous1 8y agoI completely agree that this makes RSS less accessible. So really it depends on whether you see RSS as a core web technology, like HTML or JS. It's pretty clear that Mozilla do not, nor do Google. Personally I don't either, although I'll admit bias because I really seldom use it other than through automated means.
