It’s Time to Get Back to RSS
This is why I was so heartbroken when Mozilla removed first party RSS support from Firefox, for what seemed like an extremely flimsy justification.[1]<p>RSS should be ubiquitous, and seen as an essential part of any  service that serves structured incremental content. People should be emailing webmasters asking why there is no little orange icon.<p>It also serves as a back door form of accessibility. But I strongly suspect that RSS goes against the interests of big tech who don&#x27;t like RSS, because companies like Facebook go through so much trouble to make it difficult to scrape or modify their content.<p>I just wish that Mozilla would stand up more to their corporate underwriters. Now RSS is relegated to add-ons, and is on the same tier gopher (no offense to gopher).<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17613051" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=17613051</a>
