Keep your RSS subscriptions close to you while using Firefox
It seems like it is a trend to set up your Firefox browser in order to have a great browsing enhancement. Nowadays a great role in that browsing habitat is played by your RSS subscriptions. More or less if you want to stay tunned to what’s new you have to be subscribed to some RSS feeds or newsletters. Honestly, i prefer the RSS feeds because you don’t get your inbox full every day and you keep your spam folder clean.
Firefox is the application i use in 80% percent of the time i spend in front of my PC so i need to have all the necessary functions at hand. One of them is an RSS reader. I don’t like to use some third-party apps just for the simple fact that i want to be connected with my feed subscriptions.
Wizz RSS is a Firefox extension that reads RSS and Atom news. It practically creates a new tabbed sidebar in your browser that shows your RSS subscriptions. The Wizz sidebar has three main parts: a tree based directory structure (like the Bookmarks sidebar), a section to view the latest RSS news and a third section for previewing the content of the hovered news.
You can also configure a “Watch List” and search for RSS news. Some basic filtering is available such as “Show/Hide read items”. A built-in, tabbed structured options window is available.
You can choose to e-mail yourself the latest headlines from your RSS subscriptions. Also you can choose to be alerted whenever a new RSS article is available. A customizable shortcut key combination with which you can show or hide the Wizz sidebar si also at hand.
Below is a screen capture of the Wizz RSS extension.
