An RSS reader (also known as a feed reader or aggregator) is a software application or web service that collects updates from your favorite websites, blogs, and podcasts in one centralized location.
Instead of manually browsing dozens of different sites to check for new material, you use an RSS reader to pull all new articles, headlines, and descriptions directly to you the moment they are published. How an RSS Reader Works
The Website Feed: Websites or content creators publish a hidden, automatically updated text file written in XML format called an RSS feed.
Subscription: You take the web link of your favorite site or podcast and paste it into your RSS reader. Many modern readers allow you to simply search for the website name directly inside the app.
Aggregation: The reader continuously monitors all your saved links for updates. When a site posts a new article, the reader pulls it instantly, displaying the new headline, summary, and direct link in a chronological feed. Why People Use RSS Readers
