Very simple + sane extension that I found.
Puts an RSS icon into your URL bar when the webpage you’re on has an RSS feed. The button is hidden, if it does not.
When you click the button, it copies the feed URL into your clipboard, so you can add it into your RSS reader. If there’s multiple RSS feeds on a webpage, it shows a little dropdown and then when you click one of the entries, it copies the feed URL.
When I say “RSS”, I do also mean Atom and possibly others.
i just added it and it doesn’t show a lemy feed; how did you get yours to work on lemmy?
Hmm, I didn’t do anything to make it work. Maybe try a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5).
If it is just Lemmy which doesn’t work for you, then here’s the URL for Top Twelve Hour sorting: https://lemmy.ml/feeds/all.xml?sort=TopTwelveHour
shutting down firefox and relaunching it made it work.
Nice, I thought something like this existed natively on some other chromium browsers too. Convenient it can be added to ff now.
Cool, I’ve been using RSS Launchpad because it was the only one I found to also work on the android version of Firefox, but I’ll take a look 👀
I just tried it on Android Firefox, and well, it does work, but you can definitely tell that it wasn’t built for Android Firefox.
It doesn’t show up in the URL bar and rather just in the extension menu. In there, it still gets hidden when no RSS feed is available. It copies to the clipboard as expected. And when there’s multiple feeds, it opens a separate page to show the dropdown in a very small font. Definitely usable enough, since you’re not going to interact with it all the time, but I wouldn’t give it the same glowing review…
I use RSSPreview for this. If a feed is available and you click its icon, it gives you a menu where you can select a feed to visit. RSSPreview basically changes how feeds are displayed inside Firefox.
I’d like to note that RSSPreview restores features that were removed in Firefox 64.
And by “changing how feeds are displayed”, it applies an XSL Transformation to display the feed as HTML (instead of XML) in the browser. XSL Transformation is pretty neat, you can use it on any XML document such as your own RSS feed, like I done on mine.
Dope, I still love RSS+Atom
