Feedviewer — Don't be Afraid of (Most) RSS Pages in Firefox
09:31 AM | Permalink | Comments (2) | TrackBack (9) ~ Firefox
XML RSS pages don’t render very nicely in Firefox if at all. However, there is an extension to solve this problem called Feedviewer. Feedviewer allows Firefox to render RSS pages in a manner similar to Apples Safari browser. Click here for a demo of how Safari handles RSS pages.
Overall, Feedview works pretty well, but I do get some strange behaviors every now and then. This may be caused by how I have my browser set up. For example, when trying to view En gadget’s RSS page the download menu comes up asking me if I would like to download the page… hum. Feedview works on Zoinger’s RSS page, but sadly doesn’t like Zoinger’s RDF page.
OK, not perfect, but better than nothing.

I still like the Sage feed reader. It has its set of issues as well, but I really like the way it renders feeds in the browser. Almost like reading a magazine or looking at a My Yahoo! page. Much better than the "list of headlines" way most feedreaders work.

Jeff... totally hear you on using Sage. I look at Feedviewer as a complement to a more full-featured RSS reader. Sometimes it's nice to turn the signal and reduce the noise on a site by just viewing the content (i.e., RSS feed) vs. the "normal" site.
