Editing RSS (section)

== Current usage ==
Several major sites such as [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] previously offered RSS feeds, but have reduced or removed support. Additionally, widely used readers such as [[Shiira]], FeedDemon, and particularly [[Google Reader]], have all been discontinued as of 2013, citing declining popularity in RSS.<ref name="Hölzle">{{cite web|url=http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html|title=A second spring of cleaning|publisher=googleblog.blogspot.com|first=Urs|last=Hölzle|date=March 13, 2013 |access-date=March 14, 2013|archive-date=March 14, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130314045128/http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-second-spring-of-cleaning.html|url-status=live}}</ref> RSS support was removed in [[OS X Mountain Lion]]'s versions of [[Apple Mail|Mail]] and [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]], although the features were partially restored in Safari 8.<ref name="Frakes-2012">{{cite web | url=http://www.macworld.com/article/165465/2012/02/mountain_lion_hands_on_with_mail.html | title=Mountain Lion: Hands on with Mail | publisher=[[Mac Publishing]] | work=[[Macworld]] | date=February 19, 2012 | access-date=February 23, 2012 | last=Frakes | first=Dan | archive-date=January 3, 2013 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103203018/http://www.macworld.com/article/1165465/mountain_lion_hands_on_with_mail.html | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://osxdaily.com/2014/11/03/subscribe-rss-feeds-safari-os-x/ | title=Subscribe to RSS Feeds in Safari for OS X Yosemite | date=November 3, 2014 | publisher=OSX Daily | access-date=January 24, 2015 | archive-date=January 21, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150121185232/http://osxdaily.com/2014/11/03/subscribe-rss-feeds-safari-os-x/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Mozilla removed RSS support from [[Mozilla Firefox]] version 64.0, joining [[Google Chrome]] and [[Microsoft Edge Legacy|Microsoft Edge [Legacy]]] which do not include RSS support.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cimpanu |first1=Catalin |title=Mozilla to Remove Support for Built-In Feed Reader From Firefox |url=https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/mozilla-to-remove-support-for-built-in-feed-reader-from-firefox/ |website=[[Bleeping Computer]] |date=July 26, 2018 |access-date=July 26, 2018 |language=en-us |archive-date=July 26, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180726144716/https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/mozilla-to-remove-support-for-built-in-feed-reader-from-firefox/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Firefox 64.0, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes |url=https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/64.0/releasenotes/ |website=Mozilla |date=December 11, 2018 |access-date=December 12, 2018 |language=en-us |archive-date=December 11, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181211143259/https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/64.0/releasenotes/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Since the late 2010s, however, there has been an uptick in RSS interest again. In 2018, ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]'' published an article named "It's Time for an RSS Revival", citing that RSS gives more control over content compared to algorithms and trackers from social media sites. At that time, [[Feedly]] was the most popular RSS reader.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.wired.com/story/rss-readers-feedly-inoreader-old-reader/ |title=It's Time for an RSS Revival |magazine=Wired |last=Barrett |first=Brian |date=March 30, 2018 |access-date=July 26, 2021 |url-status=live |archive-date=August 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210812114050/https://www.wired.com/story/rss-readers-feedly-inoreader-old-reader/ }}</ref> [[Microsoft Edge|Microsoft Edge (New)]] on [[Windows]] and [[Google Chrome#Android|Google Chrome on Android]] added the ability to follow RSS feeds as of 2021.<ref>{{cite web |title=Microsoft Edge to revive a classic feature RSS feeds on Windows |url=https://www.windowslatest.com/2021/12/26/microsoft-edge-to-revive-rss-feeds/ |website=Windows Latest |first=Mayank |last=Parmar |date=December 26, 2021 |access-date=January 3, 2025 |archive-date=June 14, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240614054118/https://www.windowslatest.com/2021/12/26/microsoft-edge-to-revive-rss-feeds/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Campbell |first=Ian Carlos |date=October 8, 2021 |title=Google Reader is still defunct, but now you can 'follow' RSS feeds in Chrome on Android |url=https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/8/22716813/google-chrome-follow-button-rss-reader |access-date=June 19, 2022 |website=[[The Verge]] |archive-date=June 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220605165318/https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/8/22716813/google-chrome-follow-button-rss-reader |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=How to use Google Chrome as an RSS reader and get the latest updates on your favorite websites |url=https://chromeunboxed.com/how-to-use-google-chrome-follow-feed |website=Chrome Unboxed |first=Michael |last=Perrigo |date=July 5, 2023 |access-date=January 3, 2025 |archive-date=September 8, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240908161436/https://chromeunboxed.com/how-to-use-google-chrome-follow-feed |url-status=live }}</ref>
