RSS Autodiscovery

  RSS features for Firefox

> Supported by Mozilla Firefox 2.0, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and other browsers

Unfortunately not supported by Mozilla Firefox 114 or Microsoft Edge.

It is still a very useful standard. I use https://github.com/Reeywhaar/want-my-rss to add the icon to my browser. Plus even without browser support this allows you to just paste an article into your Feed Reader and most will use autodiscovery to find the feed for you. However without a browser icon you need to guess and check.

  Search (un)common paths to find the Atom or RSS feed of a site

I still follow many RSS feeds (about 250). Sometimes it's hard to find the feed on a site, because the feeds aren't always advertised and their URLs can be tricky. Based on the URLs I've seen, I created a simple script to check if a site has a feed:

  Generate RSS feeds for sites that do not have one

> 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.

  Extension that restores RSS Feed Livemarks in Firefox.

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.
