RSS readers are a way to get all the online news you want without distractions, flame wars or annoying advertising. Here are four RSS feeders you can use on your Linux-based machine.
Standards like RSS are maybe the most underrated and underutilized feature of the modern web. RSS feeds are plain text files that every website publishes at a fixed address, with an explicit link or the common RSS icon.
Those feeds are continuously rewritten with headlines, excerpts and links to the full versions of all the latest additions to that website.
Then, using programs called RSS readers, or aggregators, you can automatically download and read as many RSS feeds you want, whenever you want, in one window.
