What Hacker News says

> Supported by Mozilla Firefox 2.0, Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and other browsers Unfortunately not supported by Mozilla Firefox 114 or Microsoft Edge. It is still a very useful standard. I use https://github.com/Reeywhaar/want-my-rss to add the icon to my browser. Plus even without browser support this allows you to just paste an article into your Feed Reader and most will use autodiscovery to find the feed for you. However without a browser icon you need to guess and check.
In RSS Autodiscovery (2006)
There are things we can do to make RSS-based consumption much easier. I use an RSS browser plugin for Firefox[1] so that a feed icon shows up on any page advertising[2] a feed. The feed icon let's me subscribe to the site with 2 clicks (and no copy/paste). This is a space that is ripe for building better tools, especially since so much of the (non-walled) internet still exposes RSS. We even have a handful of companies getting people to pay $$ for a solid hosted feed-reader experience (Feedly, Inoreader, Newsblur, etc.) [1]: https://github.com/Reeywhaar/want-my-rss [2]: https://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery
