Hacker News RSS Feeds

I am not sure I get the benefit of looking just at one rss feed at a time.

But that said, for the longest time, firefox did just style the feed directly and I am still sad they removed this. Maybe there is a browser plugin which just adds the style back?

A browser plugin is a pretty heavy weapon. It gives a lot of power over your browsing to whoever controls it. So I would not use one just to read rss feeds.

Greasemonkey is really great to customize websites for your [weird] usage pattern. (Tampermonkey[0] works in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Opera Next, and Firefox)

XHR is a pretty decent api that ignores CORS[1]

  GM.xmlHttpRequest({
    method: "GET",
    url: "http://www.example.com/",
    onload: function(response){alert(response.responseText)}
  });
