Description genghiskhan 2022-03-06 05:42:56 UTC
Add Feeds (ATOM/JSON/RSS) to Site Info dialog and a Subscribe... button which will open the default Feed Reader software (Akregator, Liferea, QuiteRSS or Console based reader etc.)

When you go to the https://www.falkon.org/ there is an FEED icon at the top right corner, a bit left oto "Made by KDE" logo.
Click on that and that is the ATOM feed.

To be clear, the URL of the feed is:
https://www.falkon.org/atom.xml

If there was no visual icon there, there would be no visual way to notice it.
Also, page displayed is XML, niot readable by human eyes, but this is concerning to ticket https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449735

RSS used to be in the address bar but was removed.
I didn't ask to restore RSS reader into Falkon as it was with QupZilla.

I'm asking to return RSS indicator to address bar and also add a new tab to Site Info dialog.
Please don't kill RSS.  http://camendesign.com/blog/rss_is_dying

Please understand, that it's not a matter of popularity, and it will never be.
You, the developers of Web Browsers, are messengers that notify us, users, that RSS exists.
The fictional dialog below will reflet myself vs. Firefox 1.5 when RSS was down below, at the statusbar.

Falkon: Welcome, new internet user!
User: Hello Falkon (:
Falkon: On the right to the address bar, there is an icon referring to web syndiction news feed.
User: Sweet, I want to know more!

* User may ask to ignore it and hide it via Preferences.

@Juraj, it's just detecting   <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Falkon" href="https://falkon.org//atom.xml" /> and displaying a clickable icon+menu. It's not much and it will make much more the world over.

It's no secret that Mozilla has removed RSS (as defualt) in favor of big media.
Do I have a proof? NO.
But, by observation of the new spying features they have added, bloated graphics and heavy design, it's too obvious, that they had this intention without regarding the interest of their users.
This feature, a single notification icon, is priceless.  No amount of money is worthy to ignore it

Please reopen this ticket.

OK, this sounds reasonable.
I apologize I misunderstood you.

Thank you. Please do not apologize. To me, RSS a political matter.
