@wyatt most browsers did
and like, feed autodiscovery too... sighs

i recall a time when most every site had a feed, oh geez and google reader too ;-;
might've been the killing of google reader that killed rss for normal users...

@tidest I knew seamonkey did because it still does
and I remember when firefox removed them
Didn't remember even internet exploder having them

@wyatt @tidest how could you? Who actually used Internet Explorer by that point, especially on Windows Vista which never broke past 30% market share.

@wyatt desktop widgets! they had such potential, it's a shame they had to be so obnoxiously over-sized.

@wyatt RSS reader was a standard functionality of a web browser, for some time. Even Firefox had one.

@jwo seamonkey still does
But I didn't remember IE ever doing it because to me IE usually means 6 and lower

@wyatt They also experimented with “accelerators” or IDK how it was called. It was some integration of webpages with (IIRC) text selection and maybe some widgets too. I tried to use it then, but I don't remember that well.
