RSS Sage-Like

A sidebar based RSS reader like the good ol' Sage add-on, may the gods avenge his untimely death.

What is RSS Sage-Like?
RSS Sage-Like is an easy-to-use Firefox add-on that allows you to read Atom, RSS, JSON, and RDF feeds via a sidebar-based display. It offers feed discovery not only from the sidebar but also from the address bar. Apart from this, RSS Sage-Like discovers 'hidden' feeds on popular platforms including YouTube, Reddit, DeviantArt, Pinterest, and Behance. With browser bookmark integration, syncing across devices via Firefox Sync, customizable tree view, and much more, it gives you an efficient and enjoyable reading experience.
