RSS Is Better Than Twitter

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
