Waterfox launches version 6.7.5 with native RSS feed manager and built-in reader

In a move that revives long-lost browser functionality, Waterfox has released version 6.7.5, introducing a comprehensive native feed manager and built-in reader directly into its Firefox-based browser. The update brings RSS feed capabilities to users who had previously relied on third-party extensions or external applications to consume web syndication content. The new system centralizes live bookmarks into a unified dashboard accessible via about:feeds, allowing users to browse subscriptions, search articles, filter unread posts, and toggle between list and grid views, all without leaving their browser.

The feed manager includes a built-in reader mode derived from Waterfox's existing reader view, enabling subscribers to render feed content cleanly while preserving options to mark articles as read, save content for later viewing, or jump to original websites. Subscription management has been streamlined with preview functionality that displays recent posts and confirmation panels before finalizing feed additions, while dedicated settings grant users granular control over feed discovery, automatic image loading, and article opening preferences. The release also supports OPML import and export, catering to power users migrating from other feed readers. This update signals Waterfox's commitment to privacy-focused browsing with practical features, positioning itself as “made with care, not telemetry” in contrast to mainstream browsers that have deprioritized RSS functionality (not Vivaldi and Opera, I know 😉, they also have a built-in RSS reader).
