14 DAY TRIAL // The practice of news and articles syndication is not a new reality for Internet users. Many websites promote their current content or its updates usually through RSS feeds.
On the other hand, the website visitors can keep up with the new added content to a website by using RSS feeds aggregators, which allow anyone to read a summary or an entire article from a website without the need to browse the web for a certain URL. The feeds content is auto-updating and, as a consequence, the user will be always up to date with the news or changes appeared in the content of a certain website.
The most convenient way of reading feeds content is by using the appropriate specialized add-ons (feeds aggregator or reader) for your favorite web browser. As most of you know, the most popular and safest web browser is Mozilla Firefox. It has an interesting feature called Live Bookmarks, which allows you to display RSS feeds headlines directly in your bookmarks. Practically, you can subscribe to any existing feed automatically by using Live Bookmarks. Certain Firefox add-ons interact directly with Live Bookmarks feeds.
For example, Feed Sidebar add-on displays the new items from Live Bookmarks in the sidebar. With a similar functionality, RSS Ticker will scroll across the screen the feeds entries existing as Live Bookmarks.
In order to implement an advanced feeds management feature into Mozilla Firefox web browser, several add-ons exist. The most important category of add-ons necessary for an advanced feeds management are feeds aggregators or readers. They provide an enhanced experience and better feeds organization options. Wizz RSS News Reader add-on is a fully featured feeds aggregator supporting all types of RSS, Atom and Podcast feeds.

In comparison with Wizz RSS News Reader, the look of feeds entries can be customized through CSS. Among the impressive number of RSS aggregators for Firefox, the most popular (beside Wizz RSS Reader and Sage) are also: Beatnik, InfoRSS, NewsFox and more. It is recommended to select the RSS aggregator which is simpler to use, is lightweight and has enough features so that you won't have to install a supplementary plugin.
