What is a Syndication News Feed?
--------------------------------
Syndication Feed is a mean for content and media publishers to reach a wider
audience easily. It allows you to receive information directly without the going
from site to site.
Essentially, a feed is a function that allows “Feed Readers” to access multiple
sites automatically looking for new content and then posting the information
about new content and updates to another site, mobile app or desktop software at
the office.
Feeds provide a way for users to keep up with the latest news, events, package
and delivery status information posted on different sites such as news sites,
music sites, content sites (i.e. social networks), torrent indexers and podcasts
in one spot.
Instructions for Gecko based browsers
-------------------------------------
The following instructions are intended to circumvent the various of
arbitrary limitations that have been foisted by Mozilla since 2018 to
attempt to hide the syndication technology from your awareness.
