Documentation

Usage

A feed icon in the browser's URL bar indicates whether there are RSS and/or Atom feeds available for the currently displayed page. Click on the icon in order to open a menu containing the titles and types of available feeds. Select a feed from this menu in order to render a preview of that feed. Navigating to an Atom or RSS feed will also render a preview.
