About Want My RSS

Want My RSS brings back RSS features that Firefox dropped. When a page advertises a feed, it shows an indicator in the address bar, and opening the feed displays a readable preview page instead of raw XML.

The preview page has a subscribe button that can hand the feed to a reader of your choice, and you can move between articles with the arrow keys or j and k. It suits Firefox users who find and subscribe to feeds while browsing.

Strengths

  • Address bar indicator when a page has a feed
  • Readable preview page for RSS feeds
  • Subscribe button that works with your chosen feed reader
  • Keyboard navigation between articles

Limitations

  • Firefox only
  • Finds and previews feeds but is not a full feed reader
