When Firefox killed RSS support, they mutilated my bookmarks to remove all of the RSS URLs.
Those bookmarks were mine, and Firefox destroyed them without even giving me a chance to opt-out.
I can't use Firefox if it's going to do stuff like that. I use qutebrowser, instead.

- GrayShade 8y agoTo be fair, they communicated that change. Did you miss the chance to export your RSS list? I think it was supposed to export an OPML so you could add them to another feed reader. Some of them are even available as Firefox extensions. > without even giving me a chance to opt-out It didn't flip a pref, the infrastructure behind that feature was removed because it was a maintenance nightmare, and not enough people were using it. You could have opted out (for a while) by switching to the ESR. I haven't tried qutebrowser, does it have extension or RSS support?

It has a userscript: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/rss https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/... ... but extensions in qutebrowser are admittedly in a very early and immature state now, and the codebase for them is going to be changed.

- msla 8y agoNo.
