RSS feed detection and preview

[b9]

I recently flirted with Vivaldi and one feature I really was impressed with and loved was automatic (in the address bar) RSS feed detection, for easy subscribing to RSS feeds. The best way to read news!

Another part of that feature was a clever RSS feed preview, where you could get a preview of an RSSified version of the site. It is like Reader View for the web! It clears away all the cruft of modern sites and just shows you a clean list view of the articles. Brilliant! 

I would love to see:

- Automatic RSS feed detection added to the address bar

- RSS feed preview view

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Firefox used to have a built-in RSS reader, but it was removed because, apparently, few people used it. Turns out we need RSS, and maybe Usenet, to resist the so-called en**bleep**tification.

Firefox should add the RSS button back. Thunderbird for Desktop has RSS reader and some people use dedicated software to read news, so Firefox don't need to add another one, just a way to help the user adding the feeds to their favourite reader.
