What I miss is that back when Safari had RSS built in was I used to just open all the new articles in tabs from an RSS list in my bookmark bar. This is the experience I really would like to recover, being able to just get a set of tabs that represent new posts at sites that I want to follow. Maybe I’ll vibe code this for myself now that I’ve given in and turned to the dark side with Claude.
I checked as I use the Feedbro extension in Firefox and Chrome family browsers for holding and updating a tree of RSS feeds and thought I'd missed a built in FF feature :/
Right here, that's how HN RSS feed works.
I only follow HN through the RSS feed. But it only gives the title and links to content and comments.
But for HN use case, that's ok IMO. Based on title I can decide if the comments might be worth it and follow the link.
Good, you might say, and I wouldn't disagree, but Google et al sure would.
