Seems like Firefox does it's own styling of rss feeds? They all look the same to me =)

Example: https://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/rss-feed-p...

Edit: Nope, extension: https://code.guido-berhoerster.org/addons/firefox-addons/fee...

Firefox removed built-in support for RSS feeds years ago. When I try to view the feed in that image, Firefox just downloads the RSS file (sometimes Firefox will show me the raw XML instead). You probably have an extension installed that styles them.

yeah, good catch.

I have this installed: https://code.guido-berhoerster.org/addons/firefox-addons/fee...

Excellent extension except for this caveat imo. And I've always considered it a travesty that Mozilla took this functionality out of the browser.
