   #Browsers, time to bring back the RSS/Atom feed icon displayed when a website has an RSS/Atom feed. :rss:

   It's long past-due!

     @rysiek Yes! I was really disappointed in Firefox when they removed it! I installed an extension to adding it back right away.

     They said they removed it because few people used it, but what do you expect when the UI is so terrible as it was. What they should've done was to integrate feed reading in a much, much better way.

     My idea for how: https://blogg.forteller.net/2013/first-steps/

     @hacknorris RSS/Atom are protocols built on top of HTTP(S) and XML, and so fit nicely and naturally into the set of technologies that any browser needs to support anyway.

     IRC is a completely different beast. A web browser has no business being an IRC client.

     @rysiek but why not? why not a client+server FOR WHOLE WEB regardless of protocol?

     @hacknorris because IRC is not "web".

     Also because every line of code is a potential security issue, and adds maintenance overhead.

     Adding RSS/Atom support is relatively few lines of code for the functionality gained, because most of the stuff needed for those is already implemented by any web browser.

     IRC is a completely, utterly different stack. And deserves a separate piece of software to do it justice.
