   "The :rss: symbol was introduced in the Mozilla Firefox browser by Stephen Horlander around 26th September 2004 to replace the text on the existing RSS feed icon, which at small sizes could be confused with the word ‘ASS.’"

     @untsuki @a1ba @inyanblood My love with RSS started from the need to get notifications without depending on browsers and bookmarks to check places I usually regularly checked manually. Some websites don't have push notifications, but RSS bridges services and sometimes native feeds in mainstream social media (like YouTube and Reddit) do exist now. Sadly, most Desktop clients can't really satisfy my goal (QuiteRSS is unmaintained; RSS Guard is RAM bloated, even lite version; others are self-hosted and require server setup). Not many options I see around me :\

     @a1ba @inyanblood I use thunderbird's RSS reader, but it's... Quite a clunky mess, yeah.
     
     There is a lot of nice ones for android, like Feeder, but almost no for Desktop...

     @inyanblood back then I used Akregator, a KDE's program for RSS feeds.

     @a1ba i wish there was a good GUI rss feed. I would use newsboat, but I need to display images or even web pages. In the end I just installed a proprietary furryfox addon

     @a1ba Which is also why for me Mozilla did more damage to RSS/Atom than Google Reader, which was just a webapp like a ton of others even at the time.

     @a1ba Or just allow you to discover said feature, not just from the web in general but from specific websites.
     Like the countless times I had to tell people that youtube does in fact have RSS.

     @lanodan yeah imagine you would see :rss: icon pop up on URL bar on news or blog website and browser would automatically remember it and fetch you latest articles from it.
