> Firefox (whose Google used to be the primary source of funds)

Google deal with Firefox was always about being the default search engine there, and that's it. They never had any power of cutting it adding features to the project.


Officially, sure, but you shouldn't pretend that Google's funding isn't the main survival line for Mozilla as an entity, and that there isn't pressure there.


Note: Brave (Chromium) has a RSS support. It's pretty good.
