RSSPreview: In-Browser Preview for RSS Feeds on Firefox
RSSPreview is a practical Firefox add-on developed to let users preview RSS feeds directly in their browsers. The extension reconstructs the handy tool that was omitted in Firefox versions 64 and later. It's also packed with impressive features like feed detection, an address bar button, recognition of feeds from iTunes podcast pages, and the ability to support custom CSS.
