Where did RSS go in Safari 6???

Where the heck is the RSS reader!?!?! It was the best all round RSS reader! I DEPEND on it for thousands of feeds that I have to keep track of every day!


AND WHY wasn't there somekind of warning? Or a suggestion for an alternative? Or at least a good extension/option!?


FIX THIS ASAP PLEASE! People like me DEPEND on features like these, you CANNOT just take them away without warning when you force a software update like this!

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 10GB RAM - ATI Radeon HD 5870

As written before I've been trying some free readers on App Store but didn't work the way I thought.


Then I clicked See All and checked the other readers, not the notifies, and I think I found something free and nice to work with: https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/feedwizard/id467336158?l=en&mt=12

Just click on and "old" feed on Safari bookmarks and it'll ask you to confirm the link. Once in the Bookmark window it shows you the usual feed text that you can sort and a Preview window capable of displaying the web page and even follow the links. The missing back forw buttons are on the secondary of the mouse/touch.


The only nice free alternative I found by now. Not checked Vienna, does it requires X11?


P.S.

Nice thoughts s4lex! Unfortunately they are true, especially with the last manager they hired.

Vienna, open source, not controlled by big brother, x11 not used, looks like mac app with toolbar, integrated browser. Not as nice as a real browser, but useful for most sites and your not switching apps to continue browsing or backing up.

so for those of you stil following this thread and still using safari 5. i would urge you to try using Net News Wire after less then a day i have gotten to a point where i am far more efficient with my time then i ever was under safari 5 and with almost the exact same resultant workflow.


NNW lets you default to opening articles in the background (which essentially recreates what i was doing in Safari) and loads feeds better (more content formats supported in direct feed viewing) and faster then Safari ever did.


I know that having all this functionality in one program would be superioir given the correct implmentation but NNW sorta blows safari 5 out of the water in terms of how fast i can parse through the info in the feeds.

Ahh, I see


Safari the Web Browser has finally made the long hard stone stepping progress towards the Finder for the internet on the Internet.


Now we get the "optional bonus pleasure" form the decission making process on how to open every single URL that Links to Anything on the intenet on the Internet.


THIS is progress! How could I not understand this singularity-purpose of the Web Browser from the begining. This is what makes things really simple; it's the sheere tonnage of single purpose Applications that matter. The sheere brutal force of gravity is what makes really brakethrough-technology.


Kind regards

Yes, it seems that Apple doesn't seem to want to listen to their customers in this case. They really want to send all RSS to Notification Center. I hate Notification Center. You can disable Notification Center with this, it even zaps the icon off the menubar. Awesome!

It would be great if Apple would restore this. It makes no sense to push RSS feeds somewhere else (like Notification Center or a third-party app) when you're going to read them in the same browser!


The down side is that Apple probably won't listen. They are busy celebrating thrier 30th for the Mac, a computer that is slowly spiraling down into oblivion.
