> rss-bridge: Can generate feeds for a ton of different sites. I use it for Twitch feeds.
A bit of a shameless self-promotion plug: rss-bridge is great but I wanted to do the same from a command line program sending the output to stdout and without running a dedicated local web server, so I wrote newslinkrss ( https://github.com/ittner/newslinkrss/ )
It allowed me to replace a bunch of dedicated scripts at the cost of some complex command lines. It works pretty well for people who prefer desktop news readers to web-based ones.

Shout-out to the Livemarks / Foxish plugins which gives you RSS support on your Bookmarks toolbar. Still nothing better IMO for quickly browsing dozens of headlines across dozens of sites.

The thing I miss most in Firefox is the Smart Bookmarks feature they removed a while ago. Smart Bookmarks were fantastic. Add your favorite sites' RSS feeds to your bookmark toolbar and you'd have all the recent headlines from all your favorite sites at one click. Fortunately I wasn't the only one that appreciated this long neglected feature so someone created Livemarks (https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/) that mostly replicated its functionality, but it's not quite the same as having native support for them.
