A large number of Internet users might have heard of RSS or atleast seen the RSS logo, but not many knows its function or how to use it.
Few years ago I was also in the same situation and even though RSS in itself is a vast field with plenty of uses, it isn't hard to get into it.
In a simple sense RSS is nothing more than a aggregator. RSS is an XML text file which would contain list of articles or content published by the website and end-user would use RSS reader to display and read the RSS feed. RSS allows users to subscribe to their favourite sources and receive updates automatically. Users can conveniently access all the latest articles, blog posts, videos, and more, in one place.
RSS reader that I personally use are Feeder for mobile and Fluent Reader for desktop.
You can read more about how to use in this lifewire article.
RSS feed could not track you. It does not use any algorithm to push any content or bombard you with personalized ads.
RSS for privacy!
RSS lets you focus on the content and unlike social media delivers feed that matters to you.
