Feedview Makes RSS 'Purty'

Anyone who follows RSS closely has probably drooled over Apple's planned feed integration in Tiger, the next major version of Mac OS X.

Today I discovered Feedview, a handy Firefox extension that not only shows newsfeeds/blogs in a more stylish way, but also basically apes this feature for us mere mortal Windows users.

From Feedview front page:

"Feedview is a Firefox extension that shows newsfeeds/blogs in a more stylish way. Without the extension Firefox just shows the default xml stylesheet. It also adds the ability to add a livemark (even if the is not set) and the ability to switch article lengths. It is mostly styled like the Rss support in Safari. So if it looks familiar check apple.com.
Click on the thumbnail for a closer look.

Feedview supports all Rss and Atom formats.
There are some issues on showing malformed & bad content-type feeds..
wich will end up in a non-styled page.. i'm most likely not going to fix this.. (bad feed deserves bad style) "
