Discover RSS Feeds on the web page with the click of a button.
For many people the open-web still revolves around syndicated feeds—whether they track industry news, monitor competitors, or curate content for newsletters. Yet discovering a site’s RSS or Atom feed in 2025 is surprisingly tricky. Face-lifted templates bury it, social widgets hide it, and some publishers omit the link tag entirely. RSS Feed Finder eliminates that friction with a single toolbar click.
1. Instant, standards-compliant feed discovery When you press the orange icon the extension injects a lightweight content script that combs the DOM for the official markers browsers and readers have recognised for two decades—<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">
and its Atom equivalent. Because discovery is performed inside the page, no external requests or APIs are required. Results return in well under a second, so the popup updates before you finish moving your mouse. Benefit: you no longer need to “view source” or guess a feed URL by adding “/feed” to the address—every formally linked feed appears automatically.
2. Heuristic fallback for non-standard sites Plenty of sites forget to add <link rel="">
tags, but still expose a feed under predictable paths such as /feed, /rss, or /atom. RSS Feed Finder unobtrusively fires HEAD requests (same-origin only) to those locations and inspects the Content-Type. If the response is XML or a recognised MIME type it is promoted into the list and clearly labelled as a “Guess.” Benefit: you capture feeds you would otherwise miss, retaining one-click convenience while avoiding blind network scans that might violate CORS or privacy expectations.
3. Clean, practical popup UI The popup opens with a “Scanning…” hint that flips to a tidy vertically spaced list. Each row shows:
a vector-sharp orange RSS logo for visual scanning;
the feed title or URL as a clickable link;
a Copy button that writes the feed URL to your clipboard and flashes “Copied!” for 800 ms. Zero feeds? You see a friendly grey message—no blank white boxes, no developer error text. Benefit: whether you are saving dozens of feeds for later or just grabbing one link for your reader, the UI stays friction-free, readable, and self-explanatory.
4. Badge counters for at-a-glance insight Immediately after discovery the background service-worker sets a numeric badge on the extension icon. Five feeds discovered? You see a solid orange “5.” None? The badge clears. Hovering does not require opening the popup. Benefit: you gain situational awareness of a page’s syndication options while browsing at speed. Many power users open dozens of tabs; the badge lets them quickly return to the richest sources.
