Hi, In past RSS feeds used to be very popular and nowadays , they are not very common.I am wondering, anyone is using RSS feed?If yes, what is your use case? Let's discuss this topic, since RSS is not available in Microsoft Edge and I am wondering is it important to have this feature in Microsoft Edge?

HotCakeX I believe you know better that your NOT working for Microsoft Edge team. In this case, whether it is waste of time for the team or it is valuable feedback is something where engineers could decide, so please STOP posting comment on something which is NOT in your decision power. Please kindly stop commenting on this post.

Whether it is waste of time and resources, it is up to Microsoft Edge team to decide, you might share your idea and I disagree because it depends on many factors and I don't think you could simply say no or yes and it is up to Microsoft Edge team to decide.The best proof is most manufacturers or software vendors might not be harmful but they are not following strong security standards like Microsoft SDLC and they don't have strong team as Microsoft Security Response Center. It doesn't mean they are NOT safe but simply are not as trustworthy as Microsoft. For example, Google also has strong security team and with high quality standard but I prefer Microsoft over Google for many reasons and it doesn't mean Google is not good enough.

There is absolutely No need to build RSS feed into Edge, the reason is there are lots of extensions that do that.
https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/search/RSS?hl=en-US
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/RSS

it's always best to have features as modules, like extensions, where it's possible, for in case of RSS, it is totally possible.
extensions keep the browser lightweight, so only people that need that feature install the extension.

this is one of the big reasons Edge legacy was not popular, because it didn't support popular extension formats such as Chrome's or Firefox's.

  I personally not using RSS , anymore.
  In this case, it would have been nice let say Microsoft would develop extension for RSS feed too or setup GitHub project and define series of open source Extensions manage by Microsoft and develop by community.

    that's waste of developing time of Microsoft. there is 0 reason to do that while there are hundreds of RSS extensions out there.
    if you don't trust any of them, provide proof and details

  You may share feedback with Microsoft Edge team about this feature.
  I am curious what is your use case of using RSS?
  What type of RSS feeds are you using?
  Note this is public forum and it is better to just share category like News, etc. , instead of actual website.

Many companies doesn't allow usage of snap-ins, so this is absolutely an essential feature to have built-in for any company knowledge worker.
