The RSS 0.91, 0.92, and RSS 2.x versions are known as Rich Site Summary.

While browsing, your browser may show an RSS feed icon () or button (chiclet) in the browser address bar that lets you subscribe to the website’s RSS feed. RSS feeds have the latest web pages, forum pages, news articles, or any other new or updated content, and is a great way to keep up-to-date with your favorite site. Third-party sites like Feedburner can distribute RSS feeds and display a subscription icon (shown below), which subscribes to the latest new additions to Computer Hope.

To read all your RSS feeds, use one of several RSS readers and programs capable of displaying RSS feeds. All browsers today allow you to subscribe to RSS feeds through the browser or subscribe through an RSS reader.
