RSS Feeds in Browsers

I like RSS.  I use the Reader that is in Outlook and I frequently add and remove sites using the remove  in Outlook’s  Account Settings.

Some sites have a RSS feed button RSS, but more and more I see sites that don’t have an obvious feed subscribe.

Not to fear, you can still subscribe using your browser! Firefox makes it easy. Just click ‘BookMarks’ and then  ‘Subscribe to this page’.



Then you get to choose which RSS Reader you want to use.



It’s pretty easy in Internet Explorer as well. Click Tools on Internet Explorer’s Menu and the click ‘Feed Discovery’ and click the Feed name.



Chrome for now isn’t quite as easy, but they may change later.  Since they have shut down their really great Reader, maybe they just haven’t yet figured out some folks just might want to use a Reader for RSS.

If you are using Chrome, you can get an add-on to let you subscribe to a RSS Feed. Open Chrome and  click ‘Settings’ and then click ‘Extensions’  Search for RSS and find one to install. Foxish live RSS will show in your toolbar if a feed is available.



Not everyone likes RSS, but it lets you know every time a new post is made and you can read it in your Reader of choice. Some available RSS Readers are listed by LifeHacker, a really cool site and it has an RSS feed!
