I just updated to Safari 11 and it seems there's no RSS Feed option in the Sidebar
I used to see this
I now only have this
I haven't find any mention of it going away though.
Am I overlooking something? I see no way to enable it in Safari Preferences.
Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), Safari 11
I used shared links (RSS) constantly with Safari at Mac and iOS, but after iOS was updated to iOS 11, Shared Links disappeared both in the iOS Safari and in the MacOs Safari (that was not updated - High Sierra will released only 25 of september).
So I could not make shared links sources backup for using with alternate app. And don't remember all sources.
But found a solution for Mac users.
Just start MacOS Terminal App and run next command
=== start of the command===
awk '/FeedURL/ { getline; print $0; }' Library/Safari/WebFeedSources.plist | sed 's/<string>//g' | sed 's/<\/string>//g' | sort | uniq > Documents/MyExportedFeedURLs.txt
=== end of the command (must be one line) ===
Then we can get new file MyExportedFeedURLs.txt from Documents folder and use it to setup new RSS reader app (I tested today some and chose Inoreader)

Chatted with the Apple Support and they said they are as surprised as we are and that they don't have any updated "List of Changes" as well. They hope to get an answer in a couple of days. Maybe the problem gets solved when the High Sierra Update comes. I said that i will ask again at Tuesday.... Wonder what they will find out until then. I will update my Post then. Greetings ;-)
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
Perhaps Apple can add some info about features it has removed (like RSS and bonjour) before it is mentioning all the shiny new features it has added, so we can make an informed choice about updating to this version.
Is there a way to revert to Safari 10?
I can not live without Bonjour and RSS.
I'm using what is (was?) the free NewsFlow from the Mac App Store, which I had downloaded some time back. I still find that Apple's removal of "Shared Links" RSS support pointless and needless added complexity. No warning they were removing it and certainly without explanation.
Seriously- I use this feature every **** day! Where did they go?
Do you have a backup you can restore from?
You can restore links from Library/Safari/WebFeedSources.plist and use alternative app with your recovered rss urls.
I'm still ticked that they took it out of mail years ago.
Didn't realize Bonjour was gone too. Will definitely screw me at work.
Can't find RSS Feed option in Safari 11
