Q: 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

    not sure if anyone here has seen this one or shared it before but perhaps there is still hope seems fairly doubtful at this point but it appears the real issue at least according to apple was security:

    Good catch!

     

    I'm still working on my RSS feed reader. I seem to be a bit stuck with my current architecture and I'm going to try doing much more with HTML. If this idea works out, I may be able to get feeds back into Safari.

    I'll add my voice to this. I've left feedback requesting the return of RSS.

    Can anyone confirm that he committed suicide due to Apple's pulling of RSS from Safari and iOS? It would be most unfortunate, if that is the case. Depression is difficult, and removing RSS has certainly been hard on all of us.

    I have same issue! But found this good app:

    http://netnewswireapp.com/mac

    Which automatically takes you to NetNewsWire app when you go to a RSS feed and you can subscribe to it.

    You sign in with your google account - then all you subscriptions are synced to Google Reader!

    I thought that Safari was important and used it a lot.  But since RSS has been removed from Safari, I have been using Vienna. What I discovered is that I no longer need Safari.  It was actually me thinking I needed Safari as a browser that was the problem.  Thank you Apple for forcing me to understand that I no longer need Safari any more because I can browse the web directly from Vienna and I don't have to switch applications to have a consistent experience using RSS feeds.

     

    The really sad thing is that I find myself abandoning more and more apple software.  At some point if Apple does not get it, I'll be running different hardware.

    • No innovation - no excitement.

    • Valid reasons for their products’ premium pricing is vanishing.

    • Dropping servers.

    • Dropping power computing.

    • Dropping enterprise support.

    • Dropping Pro apps.

    • Kowtowing to the volatile teen social networks, and trying to pass it off as the “innovation” they are missing.

     

    These  issues are compounded by the worsening of customer service and tech support (stores AND phone) as well as the noticeable reduction in quality as well as quality control itself. The .mac, .me, mobileme, icloud insanity has me with at least 6 different logins for support, developer and app updates. The insanity is caused by Apple’s customer service solution “just create another account”. It is impossible for me to believe that such a huge computer company like Apple couldn’t combine accounts - they’re either too stupid or they don’t care [smells like MS in here].

     

    Who could have possibly predicted Microsoft’s resurgence would have been caused by Apple’s mismanagement in customer service, retail stores and mostly from an obvious apathy towards any true innovation.

     

    When my Mac dies, it may be the end of my interest in computers in general; Apple killed it. Being a computer tech / electronics engineer, this is a big deal. So, if you see a Yankee hiking across GB, avoiding large cities, with just a £20 phone and a large smile, say "hi!"

     

     

    The king has died, the magic is gone, and Camelot has become just another crumbling ancient castle on the tourist maps.
