I usually find RSS feeds by looking at the page source code:
- ctrl+u
- ctrl+f rss
- ctrl+f atom (only if “rss” was not found at step 2).
I can't remember of any site providing RSS on which this hasn't worked. Actually, even for sites that advertise their RSS feed, this approach is the fastest for me (because of the lack of consistency of such advertisements).Same, except I favor the Atom protocol because from previous research (performed a long time ago, to be fair) it was strictly an improvement over RSS in every regard.
There is a highly-rated extension to automate this, but I've grown to distrust extensions that require "Access your data for all websites", and scouring the page source for the relevant <link> tag is not particularly cumbersome.
This used to be easy with RSS support in Firefox. Not anymore
When you use the Wappalyzer browser extension (https://www.wappalyzer.com/download for Firefox, Chrome, Brave) you can detect the platform (CMS) used.
WordPress? Add /feed/ For more tips: go to https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-feeds/
Drupal? Try rss.xml ?feed=rss /feed/
Joomla? You can try ?format=feed&type=rss or /itemlist/?format=feed
Blogger? Add /feeds/posts/default
*Spip ? Try /spip.php?page=backend

Try just the domain in Leaf; it might autodetect the feed URL. I use Reeder[1], and that method never failed me.

That’s literally the best thing about it. Many sites don’t even know that they serve RSS, so they don’t get filled with adtech crap.

I tend to just "View Source" and then search for "rss/feed/atom". There's usually a <link/> header in there pointing to one or more feeds.
On Mac, I've been using Leaf with no real complaints.
I've found many blogs happily serve rss content, even if a button isn't explicitly advertised. Some of the url's I'll try:
* example.com/rss.xml
* example.com/index.rss
* example.com/?feed=rss
* example.com/feed/
* exmample.com/feed/rss
