New Firefox Feed Handling Features
Published by James May 9th, 2006 in Syndication
Great to see some of the new features that will be coming in Firefox 2.0 that are redefining how people will be able to detect and subscribe to feeds.
-an IE7 compatible feed sniffer, to detect any feed content
regardless of how incorrectly it was served (e.g. as text/html)
- a Feed Processor - a XPCOM js component that parses all different
types of feed formats
- a Feed Converter - a XPCOM js component/stream listener that handles
loading a preview page in the browser window when a feed is
encountered
A “feed sniffer” that auto-detects feeds on any webpage for the user to have. The feed converter will allow users to click on a feed icon and not see raw XML, but a nicely formatted javascript. No more, OMG I broke the internet. (See image)
Notice the language of Firefox? Feed, Feed, Feed….. 
Great to see Firefox stepping up and really implementing ways for the average user to benefit from feed syndication technologies.
