Using Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari, how do I subscribe to or unsubscribe from RSS feeds?
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari each have a different symbol to indicate that a web site offers RSS; click this symbol to subscribe to the feed. Specific instructions for each browser follow.
Internet Explorer
For Internet Explorer, the RSS icon on the main toolbar will change
from grayed-out to orange when the browser is on a web page that
supports RSS (In Internet Explorer 9, you need to turn on the Command
bar to view the RSS icon: press Alt, then from the
View menu, select Toolbars and turn on the
Command bar). When the icon is orange, click it to go to the
RSS page for that web site. At the top of the page, in the yellow
box, click Subscribe to this feed. The default setting will
save the feed in the "Feeds" section of your Favorites.
To unsubscribe from a feed, near the top of the browser window, click
the plain yellow star (with no plus sign). The Favorites
menu will appear. Choose Feeds, and then right-click the feed
you want to remove. Click Delete, and then click
Yes.
Firefox
For Firefox, click the Bookmarks button in the toolbar, click
Subscribe to This Page... , and then select the feed to
which you'd like to subscribe. (In Firefox 3.6, the RSS icon will
appear on the right side of the address bar when the browser is on a
web page that supports RSS; click the RSS icon and select the feed to
which you'd like to subscribe.) In the yellow box at the top of the
page, you can choose which program to use when subscribing to the
feed. After choosing the program, click Subscribe Now. The
default setting saves this feed in the Bookmarks Toolbar
folder under "Bookmarks".
To unsubscribe from a feed, in the Bookmarks pull-down menu,
right-click the bookmark you wish to remove, and then choose
Delete.
Safari
For Safari, the letters "RSS" will appear on the right side of the
address bar when the browser is on a web page that supports RSS.
Click the letters to go to the RSS page for that web site. Then,
click the + (plus sign) to the left of the address bar to
subscribe to the feed. The default setting saves the feed as a
bookmark on the Bookmarks Bar.
To unsubscribe from a feed, right-click (or Ctrl-click
for Mac) the bookmark and choose Delete.
