    Dropping support for RSS feeds was an ill decision from them; thankfully there are extension to restore and extend the functionality. https://nodetics.com/feedbro/ https://github.com/nt1m/livemarks/.

  5. Track RSS feeds and send updates to your email inbox.
    Blogtrottr (https://blogtrottr.com/) still works for receiving emails when RSS feeds are updated, and many sites surprisingly still have them.

  9. Web-based news feed aggregator, designed to allow you to read news from any location, while feeling...
    RSS feeds have become my one and only way to consume the web and subscribe to people, websites and various things on the web. Tiny Tiny RSS[0] is an addictive RSS reader with tons of options to sort, manipulate, filter in/out, etc. RSS entries. Feed Preview[1] is a must-have Firefox add-on for finding available feeds on websites (and previewing them). All alternative front-ends to YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Provide feeds to subscribe to people like Invidious[2], nitter[3], Bibliogram[4], etc. (large list of alternative front-ends here [5]). Fortunately, Github and Reddit, still natively support RSS feeds. As others have mentioned, WordPress-based websites natively include RSS feeds for the whole website, by category, for comments of a particular post, etc. This is much better than crappy newsletters. Regarding newsletters, when it's the only option, I use Mailnesia[6] to turn an inbox into an RSS feed. Speaking of bridges, RSS-Bridge[7] makes feeds available to hundreds of websites through community plugins. Feed43 [8] is also a great tool to force an ordinary page to be available as an RSS feed. SearX [9], a metasearch engine, turns into a very powerful tool to watch for something on the whole web with advanced search functions and results available as RSS feeds. This is better than many dedicated tools, imo. Anyway, I don't think RSS feeds are missing or even dying. But they are definitely a relic of the good old days, when Aaron Swartz was around, and unfortunately reserved for people who are looking for them or are curious enough to dive into that world. One thing is for sure though: if they disappear, I'm out. [0] https://tt-rss.org.
