RSS Feeds for Microsoft Edge

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
- How on earth can I prove for my security department that a snap-in in safe?
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.
It's not about agreeing or disagreeing, I just told you the facts.
it is 100% waste of time for Edge team because the feature is not as popular as before, there are solutions from Microsoft for RSS, (Outlook), there are extensions on Microsoft addons store, there are apps on Microsoft store.
can't label everything "unsafe" and then create duplicate software for that reason, that doesn't justify it and it's wrong.
There is not much waste of resources, GitHub is available and Microsoft could just monitor and manage it and leave the actual job to community.
- And like I said there is 0 point in doing that while the "community" already made extensions for RSS, hundreds of them, and UWP apps, and Outlook, and websites to mange RSS, etc.
